Source? Article does not mention gender, only name and pronouns. Many transgender folks keep their original name and pronouns! I do not blame you for this mist

I do not blame you for this mistake, it is very easy to make. But it proves my point!
- graemep 2y agoI have not heard of that before either. What difference does their being trans make then (unless they have had surgery)?
- Tran84jfj 2y agoIt makes all the difference, they become women/men. Some people have self referenced identity, and are not defined by how their environment sees them. I will not comment about surgery.
- _cenw 2y agoIt is correct though, and the mention of deadname in the obituary makes it clear there was also a name change.
- 01HNNWZ0MV43FF 2y agoI am yet to meet a trans person who didn't change name and or pronouns but I admit there is sampling bias towards my age bucket
- squigz 2y agoIt's definitely not uncommon. Many trans people can't change their name or pronoun, or simply don't want to.
- spondylosaurus 2y agoConjoined twins are always genetically identical, so if his twin was a cis woman, I think it's safe to assume he was not assigned male at birth :) The article also mentions that George was his chosen name, not his given name. Although FWIW I am one of those nonbinary people who goes by the name my parents gave me, so fair enough :P
