Well - for a lot of trans people, their identity is something they've been aware of for years, but haven't come out yet. So on records where they have their deadname listed, there's a very good chance that that's not them.
Also, it's extremely rude to knowingly use someone's deadname for them.
I don't feel like we're going to reach a middleground...
