A german trans guy I follow on tiktok recently shared that he has a habit of telling people a random women's name when they ask about his deadname and one time he used a fake name when referring to his pre-transition self in a skit and to this day he still gets trolls in his comments calling him by that name thinking they're hitting a nerve, meanwhile it's just some random ass name he came up with on the spot. If anyone needs a fun strategy for messing with transphobes.
