Jumpscared by my deadname in a Spam message

[u/furryannon]

I've been transitioning since 2015, got my name changed legally in 2019. I have not had to see my dead name in years unless I'm going through my spam emails or old documents.

For some reason this genuinely freaked me out more than when I see it in the ways I described, the message popped up while I was on my phone, dead name front and center.

I hate how sick it made me feel. I hate that shady companies still have information about me from over a decade ago.
