About

The "Saeko" Tweet, also known as Could You Please Address Me as Saeko, refers to a viral tweet sent by transgender Twitter / X user @Saeko_Cut in early October 2024 in which she outlined an interaction with a new therapist who used her deadname and refused to address her by the Japanese name, "Saeko." Many agreed with Saeko that the therapist was wrong to deadname her but the tweet also received backlash from many users who believed that it was problematic for Saeko to choose a Japanese name, assuming that she was white. Critics believed that she was fetishizing Japanese culture akin to the Weeaboo stereotype and Thing, Japan discourse. Saeko defended herself on the app by saying she wasn't white but many were skeptical of the claim as the post garnered virality.

Origin

On October 8th, 2024, X[1] user @Saeko_Cut tweeted a conversation between her and her new therapist that starts with the therapist saying, "Nice to meet you, [DEADNAME]" and Saeko responding, "Could you please address me as Saeko." The therapist purportedly refused to call Saeko by her name, saying, "As a professional I don't think I can ethically do that, [DEADNAME]." Over two days, the tweet received roughly 35.8 million views, 81,000 likes and 1,500 replies (shown below).

So after reading this entire article, I can now safely say that the person is a fucking lunatic. Not for wanting to be called Saeko, anyone can choose a name if they wish to be called differently no matter where they originate or where they came from, that isn't an issue. What is an issue though is their strange thinking that they are doing something right by "Stealing a name from another empire because my ancestors destroyed another civilization and I don't want to take from an indigenous people" which given any kind of normal thought, you would see that is fucking already hypocritical of them to even think they are doing something right.

If you want to change your name, go ahead, but if you are gonna virtue signal about changing your name to "own the terfs" then I reckon you probably need mental help, and no not for being trans.
