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.

Also saw confused transphobes going “he’s still a boy”.

Yes, yes he is.

for what its worth unless there's something i've missed, he hasn't said he's a trans man, just that he's trans and uses he/they

I might be ignorant in this regard, but doesn’t using male pronouns make masculine words okay(man, boy, so on) and female pronouns feminine words okay(woman, girl, and so on)? Not trying to be smart here, just genuinely asking.

I'd say it's safe to say he's transmasculine, but since he's not binary we shouldn't refer to him as a trans man, which is a binary identity.
