And I believe trans people generally prefer that if someone uses an incorrect pronoun or a deadname, to simply apologize and the move on correctly.

Deadname is a stupid term. It's a former name. Did your mom try and deny she had a maiden name?
It's not about calling someone by their former name. It's about people getting offended by being called by their former name, which is embarrassingly stupid.
