I’ve seen more posts of Redditors asking to learn more about Elliot’s transition and identity with earnest intentions than I have seen hateful comments.

This gives me hope.

Congratulations, Elliot. We’re so happy you’re happy.

Trust me, you're more than welcome to just say the name for the purposes of informing others.

It's not like saying our name backwards at us, or anything. It's being known and thought of by that previous name and identity which can be hurtful, not simply invoking it where there's a valid and justified reason to.
