I watch the umbrella academy and had no idea Elliot page was trans. Didn’t make the connection to Juno. But yeah what’s wrong with calling someone the name they want to called by? However you introduce yourself to me that’s what I’m going to call you.

I always forget Elliot even has a deadname. I heard it the other day and literally went “who?”. It’s that easy. Erase the other name from your brain.

Though he became a topic of discussion when The Umbrella Academy star’s deadname( the name he used before he came out as a trans man) was trending on Twitter on July 5th, violating its policy on hateful conduct. According to the platform’s hateful conduct policy, users are prohibited from “targeting others with repeated slurs, tropes or other content that intends to dehumanize, degrade or reinforce negative or harmful stereotypes about a protected category.” including “targeted misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals.”
That was later been removed as a trending topic which was confirmed by Twitter spokesperson Trenton Kennedy according to Buzzfeed. Though Page’s name was later trending on the platform with fans supporting and defending them from anti-trans harassment.
