    It doesn’t matter whether someone is trans or nb. Imagine anyone changing their name for any reason. Let’s say through marriage. Hypothetically Jane Doe changes her name to Jane Smith or something. When someone then keeps using their old last name, that’s deadnaming too. Goku doesn’t consider Kakarot to be his name. He mentions that several times and some characters just don’t get it. They’re willfully obtuse. Goku is Goku.
