Refusing to use a students dead name

I was passing out wristbands at the end of the day for a prize from admin, and my students deadname came up. I made sure to save it for last and cross out the name and put my students real name down ( im in a blue area, i know this might be breaking a rule in some places in the US). I didnt make a big deal out of it and simply placed it on them and moved on with the rest of my lesson. The student came up to me at the end of class, didn't say anything and gave me a hug and some candy they know I enjoy. It sucks to feel so powerless these days but im glad I can still do these small gestures. (Edited to fix format 😅 but also thank you for all the love and support I see in chat. It really is heartearming to see so many teachers out there doing what's best for our kids, and i really appreciate it during these unsure times)
