#dead name

The Marauders weren’t social justice warriors, and James and Sirius, in particular, embodied the classic values of male success through the performance of stereotypical “macho” characteristics: as leaders, as “alphas” of the pack. Both are violent; both are cocky men who try to stand out and mark their territory. Both exhibit behaviors that have typically been excused in men just because they are men, such as abusive and reckless behavior. Their nickname for Severus stems from the idea that showing emotions—especially crying—if you are a man, is a reason for ridicule and mockery because men don’t cry. Men are supposed to be strong, puff out their chests, and keep going because that’s what men do. It’s a misogynistic and archaic mindset that continues to be perpetuated in social models and relationships to this day. And I find it incredibly hypocritical that certain people who claim to hate J.K. Rowling for being a transphobe then go on to appropriate the horribly sexist nicknames she created for a group of heterosexual men embodying toxic masculinity to bully another man for not performing the traditional masculine model expected of someone like him.

Because Severus wasn’t a “macho”. Severus was a studious introvert with a more passive character who didn’t fit into the masculine vision of the time. Everything about him, including his appearance, demeanor, and interests, is unmasculine from a hegemonic perspective given the historical context. But these people don’t care. They’re so limited, so ignorant, and so cynical that they not only ignore these kinds of nuances but even find it funny to reproduce insults that any real-life James Potter would probably have used against them.

Pronouns detected, opinion rejected. Here’s one for you… "They/them" is how leftist-white-woman think they take themselves out of the privilege class and try to align with a victim group. It's a completely made up thing.

Not only will I NOT use your "pRoNouNs", there's a 100% chance that I'm going to dead-name you as well.

Okay so, pretty much all cybertronian names are unisex. They're not gendered like human names are. So when a cybertronian changes gender, they don't change their name. Because as far as they're concerned, they're still the same person regardless of what their pronouns are. As seen with Arcee, Lug, and Anode.

The only time cybertronians change their name is when they experience a major upheaval (emotionally, mentally, or physically) and either no longer feel how they used to or want to change/reinvent themselves. As seen with such bots like Megatron, Drift, Bumblebee, Tarn, Blackarachnia, and Chromedome.

They start to go by a new name and refuse to use their old name. Sometimes even becoming upset, annoyed or angry when someone calls them by their old name. They're old name is dead to them, making it a dead name.

You shouldn’t be purposely be misgendering any trans person ever?

Even if you are trans.

Even if you don’t like them.

Even if they are a bad person.

When you only use the name and pronouns of a trans person that you like or respect, you aren’t actually an ally. You don’t refer to them correctly because you think transness is valid and okay. You do it because you like them/respect them. If you take the quickest possible chance to misgender someone else, you are participating in transphobia! I’m seeing this on the news, I’m seeing this on Tumblr where the trans women who are for some reason against trans men are misgendering them.

Transness is valid. It isn’t bad. It doesn’t become invalid when you don’t like someone.
