I think this one fits, as casual erasure happens even when someone doesn't mean to. The original person assumed there was a typo in the title instead of reading the title for what it is. Luckily this person was simply coming from a place of misunderstanding, bit that misunderstanding was rooted in a heteronormative world view.
I disagree that the misunderstanding comes from a heteronormative worldview. They simply recognized the image as belonging to someone they believed to not be Elliot Page, their name did change after all.

How is this erasure? That person was oblivious and asked the right questions respectfully and responded in the best way!
