No dead naming. Even for VP candidates.

James Bowman changed his name to JD Vance to get away from a moniker that he associated with trauama, a life he didn’t want to live, and someone he felt he wasn’t.

He doesn’t think transpeople deserve to do the same.

Deadnaming him feels appropiate, I’m treating him the way he treats me.

Same with Rafael Cruz and other regressives who have changed their name for personal reasons. As long as they insist on using people’s dead names I will only refer to them by theirs. The golden rule, treat others as you wish to be treated.

If they opt out of polite society, then they do not deserve the privileges of polite society.

Don’t, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Fight them, but never drop to their level. Then they’ve reached their goal and it’s lost. Be better than them.

Stooping to the enemy’s level makes you just like them. It feels good to be petty but it doesn’t help. And it isn’t like you are personally talking to them so they can feel the sting.
