My body, my rules, my choice for my self-identification. If I want to call myself Throatwobbler Mangrove, that's my choice and you don't get to call me Raymond Luxury-Yacht any more, whether I've had an operation to change my nose or not. And my choice of reference there isn't (just) something completely different; it's to show that this has been an issue longer than some of this thread's participants have been alive.
Lynn's body, Lynn's rules, Lynn's choice for Lynn's self-identification. No joke.
Geth's body, Geth's rules, Geth's choice for Geth's self-identification. No joke.
And so on.
It's just polite to call a person by that person's current name, even if that person used to have a different name or appearance.
Getting back to All The Tropes...
I think Cwf1997 has had their habit of not checking what tropes mean before posting so-called examples of them. One official warning posted - next occurrence gets a tempban for "Refusing to learn from honest mistakes, or repeatedly making the same honest mistake after it's been pointed out"
