DISCLAIMER: I don’t mean in any way to disrespect or undermine trans people. In such cases, the social name is the one that should be used. For the purpose of the text I used expressions like real, given or birth name as opposed to anglicised, translated, English or western names adopted by some speakers in response to racial microaggressions. What I mean is the name the person feels comfortable being referred to as. The name they "go home to”. Is there a better way to put it? I would love to hear from you.
