I'm also confused by the preferred pronouns of "he/they". Am I supposed to say I'm happy for they? Or is it more like he/him and they/them are both acceptable? Edit: I just read the article and it's the latter.

I get confused about the difference between "gay" (orientation) and "trans" (gender). I think Elliot identified before as gay - does that change now if your gender identity is different?
