OK, this thread is a whole whirlwind of new information right now. I didn't know concepts like deadname until this thread.
But where did you find the information about using the deadname being offensive? I didn't see mention of that on Elliot's twitter.
If Elliot makes that comment openly about absolutely disliking references to the former name, absolutely fair enough. But I don't see evidence of that and if it's a, "Some people will take offense even if Elliot doesn't" situation, I think that's kind of silly unless there's more to the whole situation than I hadn't understood?
