A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

My response here is targeted at the other people replying to this message.
I am extremely distressed at the amount of people justifying deadnaming and upvoting the comments justifying deadnaming compared to the amount of upvotes on this comment.
Deadnaming someone because it's convenient for you is not a good justification.
It is very upsetting for the grand majority of trans people to be referred to by their deadnames. You should not do it unless specifically you are told that it's okay! Please listen to trans people when they say that this is upsetting and that you should not do this.
Edit: Adding the following:
A simple search for "Emily Young LTT" is all you need to find out who she is anyway? So it reiterate the original comment, there is no NEED for the deadnaming. There is only your comfort and convenience.
