Deadnaming hurts ore than just the person you use it on. Caitlyn Jenner is still a disgrace to the trans community, though.

😬 was just deadnamed like 20 times in a row in front of everyone ever (I’m stealth) can someone tag this with something interesting. I’m going to explode.

OK FOR CONTEXT BECAUSE APPARENTLY PEOPLE DONT KNOW HOW TO READ TAGS: I AM A TRANS BOY WHO GOES BY HIS PREFERRED NAME. THAT IS WHY THIS MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE.

EVEN MORE CONTEXT. BECAUSE PEOPLE CANT BE LOGICAL. I never SAID I felt as if I was being oppressed of as though my supervisors were doing it on purpose. I was nearly stating that it made me upset. PLEASE dont reblog this post anymore if all you’re gonna do is tell me I’m wrong OR argue with me because I’ll block you but only after calling you a dumbass <3

Mississippi school allegedly edited transgender salutatorian’s face after deadnaming him online

A whole lot of people went out of their way to congratulate an excellent student named Jonas on achieving the second-highest grade in the D’

Dawn Ennis at The Advocate:

A Mississippi high school is facing backlash after a Facebook post celebrating its 2026 salutatorian deadnamed the transgender student and appeared to digitally alter his appearance. The post, published Sunday by D'Iberville High School in Biloxi, congratulated salutatorian Jonas Hole with the caption, “Pride. Tradition. Excellence. Congratulations to our DHS Salutatorian,” before identifying him by his deadname. The post quickly drew criticism online, generating more than 1,300 comments, over 650 reactions, and nearly 90 shares as commenters accused the school of transphobia and rallied in support of Hole, who identifies as transmasculine. Many commenters also alleged the school edited Hole’s senior portrait before posting it online. “They photoshopped his mustache off to make him look more ‘feminine,’” commenter Micheala Boffman wrote.

[...] The backlash also renewed criticism over allegations that several students, including Hole, were excluded from the school’s yearbook because they did not comply with gender specific dress requirements for senior portraits. A Mississippi man named Douglas Myatt, one of dozens of people who reshared the post, accused the school of targeting transgender students. “D’Iberville should be ashamed,” he wrote. “‘Pride’ yet they deadname this student and edit out a mustache. They also removed him and several students from the yearbook completely for wearing a tux in their senior photo. Teens are literally killing themselves because of transphobia, but the school chooses to continue on with the bigotry. Disappointed to say the least. My faith in humanity is restored a little bit by the messages of support for Jonas.” Not all of the responses were supportive. Some commenters posted anti-LGBTQ+ remarks or questioned whether Hole’s legal name should take precedence over his chosen name in the post.

Censorship in action at D’Iberville High School in Biloxi, Mississippi: The high school edited the appearance of valedictorian Jonas Hole and deadnamed the trans valedictorian.
