Even though they aren’t in my life anymore, when retelling stories of my friend Courtney, I still sometimes misgender and use a dead nickname.

Just make the effort and be sincere about it.
And definitely don’t make pejoratives out of it.

I have a friend who has changed their name and pronouns twice since I’ve known them. - znufrii Mar 31, 12:04
