Hey. So, I'm not a user here and haven't touched Wikia in a long time (long enough that I still call it Wikia), but I couldn't help noticing that this page deadnames a trans character. As a trans person myself, that hurt to read. I shouldn't have to explain how inappropriate it is to use any trans person's deadname without their consent, even a fictional one. I hope the editors at Tardis Data Core will consider changing the article to be less triggering for trans readers who just want to browse cool Doctor Who lore.

Deadnaming
Hey. So, I'm not a user here and haven't touched Wikia in a long time (long enough that I still call it Wikia), but I couldn't help noticing that this page deadnames a trans character. As a trans person myself, that hurt to read. I shouldn't have to explain how inappropriate it is to use any trans person's deadname without their consent, even a fictional one. I hope the editors at Tardis Data Core will consider changing the article to be less triggering for trans readers who just want to browse cool Doctor Who lore. 23.16.246.215talk to me 20:48, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
