After the fuss about Sam Bettens: why the ‘deadname’ of trans …

A quiz question in ‘The smartest man’ about Sam Bettens, the singer of K’s Choice, caused quite a stir.

Never call him, Sam Bettens, “she” again, and forget his old name Sarah. A simple quiz question about the musician teaches us that it is taboo to use the birth name of a transgender person and refer to his / her former gender. Why is that so sensitive? “It’s hurtful.”
