      Proceedings of the Global Transgender Council, 2023-██-██, p. █████:

      COUNCILMEMBER: What difference does it make that Twitter’s deadname was only revealed this year? His use of [DATA EXPUNGED]1 as a deadname for PayPal and his daughter Vivian are well established and unanimously agreed to by this Council. Are we supposed to believe he had a change of heart and suddenly started respecting deadnames?

      COUNCILMEMBER: Of course not. Even if Twitter didn’t have a deadname before, are we really to believe it isn’t objectively a deadname?

      COUNCILMEMBER: It cannot be doubted that Elon would have the power to create deadnames out of thin air, and in any case, this Council already delegated the ability to reclaim deadnames to the takers of names2.

      The council votes ███████████████, resulting in immediate adoption. A delivery of ESTROGEN BURGER results in ██% of councilmembers taking a lunch break, resulting in a lack of quorum.

      1Deadnames when necessary to be referenced by the Council are expunged pursuant to the Trans 'Genda, 2023 Edition. It is unclear whether the phrase “data expunged” was literally uttered.
