If I say I admire the electronic musical pioneer Wendy Carlos who was born Walter Carlos (according to Wikipedia), I think I've just made a statement of fact. Am I deadnaming (??, some concept I just heard about for the first time today) in violation of Twitter ToS?

Report me.
I think Deirdre McCloskey (born Donald McCloskey) is a lovely woman, a marvelous economic historian, a powerful voice for liberalism & a positive role model for trans-women.

Have I "deadnamed" this good woman when she says the same about herself? What are the rules?

Report me.
BTW: If @DeirdreMcClosk disagrees with this tweet, I'll happily take it down in a heartbeat. But, having met her, I think she will instead stand *up* for liberalism & defend me unless I have her very much mistaken. Such is my faith in the Trans-community. And her.
