Sadly at work force pushing just isn't an option, so I've just learned to ignore my deadname. There's apparently some way to use .mailmap to swap out the way your name/email displays, but github doesn't respect it in any case. :|

I do mostly update old JIRA/Confluence references as I run into them. I also make a habit of referring to others by their @handle references, since that will update automatically if they ever change their name.

I also got such an emaiiiiillll

Nobody commits to my projects so I was able to this lol 🥲

Also, if git push --force isn't supposed to be used then why is it there? It's literally made for trans people to break git history ^/s^

If you consider you did write the code as your old name, letting the git tree version your gender is actually epic 🤝

Still force push an empty commit that says you changed your gender at the moment you started changing your user config just so it fucks up the history

That would be pretty funny, I think
