If transpeople insist on trying to distance themselves from their old identity, by making things like "dead naming" a mortal sin, then I'm gonna go to the logical conclusion and say: whatever you did before you transitioned is no longer considered your accomplishment after you transitioned.
Either you are the same person as your pre-transition self, in which case referring to you by your old name is ok. Or you are a brand new person, with your own name, in which case you are no longer allowed to take credit for what your pre-transition self did.
