They put Tayy Diorâs name in quotes as if that was a fun little nickname her friends called her. It places emphasis on the fact that her name is âunofficial,â and given that legal name changes in places like the US can be expensive, difficult & time consuming, the âunofficialâ nature of transgender peoplesâ names is commonplace. Using deadnames of trans people in media reports is an endorsement of the difficult nature of this process.
It also highlights the absurdity of appealing to âofficialâ legal records of name and gender marker - which official records? even when you go through a legal name change process, itâs not a single application that changes it everywhere. At least in my experience in Canada, and I believe this is the case in other federated states, you have to separately change your photo ID(s), your birth certificate, your federal/national records, your tax records, your employment and tenant records, your bank records, your billing records, and so on. These are all separate applications/appointments. And legal name and gender marker are separate applications. I had to essentially obtain a set of permission slips from a provincial office that allowed me to change my name and gender marker on municipal, provincial, and federal records. There isnât one single âofficialâ record that informs all other records of your ârealâ name and gender marker, it is a collection of diffused departments & offices that do not communicate with one another and must be altered one at a time by the individual themselves. In many cases, states retain a record of your original name and gender marker even after applying for a change, meaning it is literally impossible to ever fully change your name and gender everywhere, administratively speaking.
So, which record is the âofficialâ record for trans people? Cis people treat âofficialâ records of legal names and gender markers as if they are uniform, centralised, and coherent in order to contrast the âunofficialâ nature of a trans personâs âpreferredâ name and pronouns, to highlight the fundamental fraudulence of our lives that go against the rational objective nature of the state, but there is in many states no single official record, for trans and non-trans people alike. That is because when cis people insist on calling trans people by their deadnames and ungender them, they are not actually referring to official records - as official records can conflict, and there is no agreement on which single record is the authoritative one - but are instead treating sex and name assignment at birth as if it is sacrosanct. This first ritual of naming, of gendering, and of recording the results of this ritual is the actual âofficial recordâ they are referring to, a ritual that can never be altered or forsaken.
Tayy Diorâs name is not a nickname, it is not a quotation to insert into her ârealâ âofficialâ deadname, it is not a preference. It is her name, and the media - even âtrans inclusiveâ media - is making sure that it is, at best, the second thing they call her as they gleefully report on her violent murder

The most dystopian thing you could do 7 months into a genocide is complain that a genocide is still happeningâand itâs even more disgusting when itâs specifically targeted at wanting people to tag Palestinian gofundmes so you can filter them out of your dash. Youâre being extremely distasteful when you demand something like that. People are dying.
