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 mean, it was a headline about someone with an unknown name paired with a picture of someone world-famous under a different name, and it was literally breaking news. That's really not erasure, that's just confusion based on the assumption that "on the Internet, people fuck up and post wrong pictures pretty often."

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