There are many things that trans people still hate about media
coverage. "Dead naming" - referring to someone by their old name - is
painful for many trans people, Fae says. "It's almost like a small
electric shock if I see my old name in print." '

The same nonsense used to rationalize misgendering and deadnaming
before is being trotted out again, this time in a hugely high profile
case. Unfair as it has been to all the previous (and future) victims
of misgendering and deadnaming violence, Manning's case does provide a
lot of highly-visible material to serve as examples for criticism of
how, by and large, cis people fail trans people in the simplest of
requests.
