I don't call Lily her deadname because I respect that name does not reflect her identity as a woman.
I haven't switched to "Casey" yet because it's unclear to what capacity she identifies by that name. That's also not the name attached to her internet persona, so it's not useful in that regard. And, there's a very decent chance she's chosen that name to spite Courtney.
"Lily" is the name Lily has identified with for years. Built her brand around. Is the name people recognize her by. She claims to not have gone by that name for "a while", but she's either lying about that, or committed fraud during her last copyright strike against Sai.
I'm not calling her "CD" because, by Lily's own admission, it was a half-assed attempt at obfuscating criticism. This is about the third of fourth time she's done this.
I don't refer to Sai by her real name because, though it was made public because she was doxxed, that is not the name connected to her online persona, and understandably she would like to maintain some sort of a private life.
I don't call Moist Cr1TiKaL "peinguinz0" even though that's been his channel name literally the entire time he's been a youtuber because that is a random username he gave himself as a child, and then his channel blew up.
Don't let Lily jedi mindtrick you into conflating a trans rights issue with her fucking PR problem. These are two seperate things. It's dishonest of her to try to pull this and transphobia in it of itself.
If Lily wants to change her private identity to something else, fair enough. If she had never used what was at one point her real legal name as her online identity, I'd say, "Maybe don't spread that around guys if it's not relevant information." If "Lily" was a deadname, I'd stop using it.
It is none of those things. It is a name soiled by her own actions she is trying to run from the responsibility of.
In her most recent script, SHE IS STILL REFERING TO HERSELF AS LILY.
