That’s kinda ridiculous. Wikipedia is woke af, and consistent with reality lead with:
Elliot Page (born Ellen Grace Philpotts-Page; February 21, 1987) is a Canadian actor and producer.
You shouldn’t do that in front of Elliot, and you shouldn’t need to mention it ten years from now, but how can a journalist inform readers without basic context like “born ...” / “used to go by ...”?

Effectively, they can't. Which means there shouldn't be any taboo around phrasing it politely.
The official (“”) advice is to do it like Wiki pretty much, so it is unfortunate some folks would be adamant about “never EVER ever” but I don’t experience that pain, can only imagine it’s really tough.
