There are two scenarios here:
A) People who call him by his former name to be dicks
B) People who genuinely slip up because they have a neural pathway that leads to "Ellen Page" that has spent many years baking.
Don't blindly lump the "B" people in with the "A" people.

I used his deadname in my thread title as a way to most efficiently pass along the info but had not considered the deadname angle when I did so. Oversight on my part.
IMO it is cool that he changed these things. I also think it is terrible anyone has a life of pain and suffering because they have the courage to announce their gender identity to the world.
I do find the idea of anyone the world over ever using his deadname again being offensive to be a little extreme.
