:: Cassandra's complicated. Her biography as given in that story includes several switches back and forth, and I'm not sure if she's intended to be "binary trans, who had to detrans several times" (which would indeed make it a deadname) or, in fact, genderfluid. Notably, on TV, she does say "when I was a little boy", not "when I was a little girl wrongly perceived as a boy"… [[User:Scrooge MacDuck|'''Scrooge MacDuck''']] [[User_talk:Scrooge MacDuck|⊕]] 18:58, 6 December 2023 (UTC)

:::Epsilon, your proposal re:Rose doesn't work for a simple reason. BTS sections are OOU. By placing her deadname there we're simply not documenting the IU fact of it, we're documenting the BTS production details that led to the choice of it. It's a subtle distinction, but one that exists. [[User:Najawin|Najawin]] [[User talk:Najawin|<span title="Talk to me">☎</span>]] 19:31, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
