Caspian Richard had only a moment to react when he was faced with a worst-case scenario during his first class back in school.
The 13-year-old student who transitioned earlier this year was taking part in virtual schooling at Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board (HWDSB) when he heard a familiar name. But it wasn't Caspian. It was his legal name. His "dead name."
His heart raced and butterflies filled his stomach.
"It was a nervous feeling," Caspian said in a phone interview on Wednesday. "I was really worried about it."
It's unclear if the other student meant to use the wrong name. The school's new technology was showing some students his legal name and other students his actual name.
In that moment, he looked to his mom, Hannah Pynckel. She was at his side in their Upper Stoney Creek home.
"I said, 'Ignore it, laugh at it, pretend it doesn't exist ... if you [don't] want to be outed, just play it off,'" she told him.
Caspian improvised. So did his teacher. Together, they smoothed it over.
Still, Caspian has been thinking about it since.
"There's always kids coming in and out of the class and I'm worried it'll happen again."
With HWDSB's massive reorganization underway, there's a good chance his class and teacher could switch.

Where will she change for gym class?
Her parents should be jailed for child abuse.
Destroyed that kids life.
This is what you get by closing the mental hospitals.
I got the vapors from just READING this.
The poor kid whose parents were too stupid and liberal to get him/her proper counseling.
Canada?.......................
13 years old.
Now messed up for life.
The parents should be charged for endangerment.
What kind of parent allows a 13 year old to engage in such perverted insanity?
It’s too bad that this person who is denying the gender of their birth is more worried about the name by which it is addressed.
So many brittle people...
So little time...
More importantly, how does it pee?
Unfortunately for Caspian, statistics would suggest that s/he has far more to be concerned about than someone using the wrong name.
Well, there you have it. Death. The same people who love abortion, now have death names. What’s next, celebrating deathdays instead of birthdays. It is evil.
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!
Bunch of freaking science deniers. No matter the hormones, genital mutilation, and clothing, this person’s genes will always be XX.
The style of writing makes me pewk. No one is transgender. No one transitions. There are no “deadnames”.
Remember school in the ‘50’s with class sizes over 40 and the teachers would always mispronounce names with nobody freaking out.
How soes this Shiite make the “news?”
This seems to be the end result of liberal “feel good” culture.
