you know when you deadname someone, but you don't yet realise it's their deadname, because you haven't been told yet?
and then someone is like "that's their deadname"
fuckin sucks.
I suggest a centralised register of name changes of all trans people, so that I can always stay up to date. This plan has zero downsides
@LilaHexe I have the problem that some creatures change their name frequently and there are several different cached names in different places. Therefore i propose a system similar to DNS where it is reasonable to cache entries both locally and on dedicated servers. However each place the name is used should also contain a reference to the authoritative server for that name from where any cache can be updated should it have become stale. This ofc implies that each name also carries a TTL,which..
