"Deadname"
[edit]Hi Sarah,
Marsha Johnson didn't have a "deadname" because Marsha/Malcolm/Mikey/Marshall used all four names throughout life. Different groups of friends used the differing names, and Marsha would sometimes ask for one of their "boy names" to be used in settings where Marsha preferred to pass as male. Marsha also did not have preferred pronouns (except in the aforementioned situations where also requesting one of the "boy names"). The scanned birth certificate is one Marsha applied for in 1990, removing the "Jr." but not otherwise petitioning for a name or gender marker change. Please read the article and talk. There are a lot of misconceptions out there about Marsha, but here on WP we've stuck with the facts. Best, - CorbieV ☊ ☼ 18:15, 28 June 2019 (UTC)
