Handling name of transgender artist

even in the case of a physical release that has deadnames in ink, we shouldn’t use the deadname in the “credited as” field. i know this goes against standard policy, but until MB can present those credits in a way that provides proper context and respects artists it’s deadnaming.

i don’t see the two release solution as providing a solution to that, there would still be pages showing out of context deadnames

as for digital releases that get updated, i think we’re running into the ship of theseus (edit: if only we had 4D releases)
