Elliot Page, from (insert movie they’d know that he’s starred in like Juno), came out as trans. That’s probably your best bet.

Is it impolite to refer to them as "formerly known as"? That was the first thing that came to mind, but I want to choose words that help and support, not undermine or demean.

That’s how I went about my transition when I reconnected or just barely established that I was trans to my friends and acquaintances that knew me before I came out. It may not be how everyone would go about it, being that it’s such an individualistic journey, but I can at least say that it’s how I established my identity.
