It's not ammo for the "intolerant left". It's a faux pas that's easily avoidable once you know.

Married women who get called by their maiden name don't get offended, or find it offensive because their old name was a real thing. What is offensive is triggered snowflakes who try to compel the speech of others. Trying to deny that Ellen Page starred in the first 2 seasons of the Umbrella Academy is like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand or believing the earth is flat.
