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.

My sister has a granddaughter doing this. She has been threaten by the parents to remove her from their lives.
I told to keep her to keep speaking the truth, “God created a beautiful young woman.” Someday the truth will get through, but not if we don’t say it OFTEN.
And in which lavatory? Assuming it's a biological female, standing at a urinal may pose a challenge, although there are modern portable funnels sold for this purpose...
This is definitely a First World problem.
Very true. Did I miss a mention of a dad?
the teachers and the culture and the media makes the decisions.
It's trying to get a court order to require the other "girls" to be on the same soom meeting where it changes clothes.
Something tells me there is no father in the picture.
Neidermeyer? DEAD NAME!!!
The childs life-long sexual identity problem all started with the mother. Who allows/encourages a 12 year-old to transition their sex? and no doubt her evil influence started working on the child years earlier.
YES! Just think how many people really belong in institutions.
safer for them. Safer for us.
Then he went to the bathroom to change his sanitary pad. Or something. He is a girl.
What parent would allow their child to “transition” to a different gender before the age of 13?
I am so sorry for what you have experienced.
The other side sure is good at coining new words.
All this craziness reminds me of the old PBS show, I Claudius, where Claudius is talking with his completely crazy nephew, Caligula.
Caligula has become Emperor and he walks up to Claudius asking him if he notices something different about him.
Claudius looks at him and he seems no different than his normal crazy self but he knows if he says the wrong thing he will be executed.
He stammers around not knowing what to say and finally comes up with saying , Oh you’ve become a God.
What about her dead uterys?
When i was a kid the teacher called me by my penis’s name ...and i couldn’t stop thinking about it for days...
A 13 year old “transitioning” is a euphemism for child abuse.
