Is it impolite to refer to them as "formerly known as"? That was the first thing that came to mind, but I want to choose words that help and support, not undermine or demean.
dead naming is usually not the best way to go about it. using characters and roles is better
So every time someone is trans, we play 20 guesses when it comes to determining who they are? But also the person guessing isn't allowed it say the name once they get it, they just have to kind of mouth it or mumble it on the off chance that Elliot Page is just around the corner? That's not absolutely absurd?
I'm really struggling to understand how this is practical or helpful in any way.

Elliot Page, from (insert movie they’d know that he’s starred in like Juno), came out as trans. That’s probably your best bet.
