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.

A liberal hell on earth. The mother is the source of this spiritual death
Counseling doesn’t help. All the counselors are now forced to automatically accept the Trans premises under penalty of losing their licenses.
As a father who lost his daughter, I will tell you the only way to avoid this is to immediately take away all social and internet interactions among your pre-teen daughter. The disease is spreading like wildfire among the young girls.
“Irreversible Damage” by Abigail Shrier should be required reading for every parent with a daughter. Preferably, the sooner the better.
That will be the least of his problems in the coming years.
That it was so devastating is itself a sign of mental illness.
If hard times come, these are the first ones who will die off.
Oh noes! No 13 year old in the history of mankind has ever faced such drama. Not even 12 yo Sidney Lewis, who fought at the Battle of the Somme in 1916.
Not just allows, but encourages.
To answer your question, a perverted insane parent.
Of course she did. All Munchausen by Proxy victims do.
“Deadnamed” ?
What??!!
These crazies come up with yet another term to make mental illness normalizing acceptable.
And to try and hammer everyone else into submission .
“You are fired. Why am I fired? You deadnamed Mercedes and called “her” her dead name of Fred” “Fred is dead, its Mercedes now “
Pretty awful stuff, man. It's a wonder he survived.
No mention of dear old dad here. Interesting.
Oh goodie, a new term...since I winter remember it how about HIS REAL name?
Sick of the freakshow.
A transgender child is like a vegan cat.
We know who is making the decisions.
A 13 years old?
Perhaps she should have “done more” as a parent.
This stuff didn’t exist at all as an issue as little as 10 years ago. This is purely a social construct by people who believe reality is optional.
Once, in grade school, a teacher mispronounced my name. Imagine my horror. I haven’t been the same, since.
How horrible. Now they know how it felt to storm the beaches at Normandy
The media has you using the wrong pronoun. This is a XX pretending to be a XY.
