More confusion about the deadnaming taboo. How could I, as a mid-career academic, possibly handle my gender transition without permitting deadnaming? I've got over a hundred papers and a couple million dollars of grant funding under my given name. I *need* to explicitly refer to that history every single time I apply for a grant or a promotion, and every time I give a student a copy of an old paper. Deadnaming just feels like an unavoidable necessity to me. What am I missing here?
@danielle I suppose you could look at how other's do it such as Deirdre McCloskey, Jennifer Boylan etc.
@Dianora Thanks! McCloskey's approach seems especially pertinent. Very useful.
