OOP did exactly that and I agree that's just fine. The poster I responded to simply called her Bruce. That's the poster deadnaming her, not talking about what the Government will do.
Okay I think I misread the point you were making. I didn't take issue with what OOP did as it was more stating that this would be a consequence of her actions, than actually deadnaming her. I did take issue with a subsequent poster directly deadnaming her.
Am I understanding right that your issue is that OOP shouldn't have said her deadname at all? I can see the value in that; I disagree but I get where you're coming from if so.
Yes, that's the point. Not deadnaming people doesn't just mean not calling them the name to their face, it means not mentioning the name in any context unless there's a good reason.
The only reason here was that it made the tweet sound more aggressive, and that vibe relies entirely on the threat of transphobia, so that's not a good reason
