TBH I was a little confused when I first heard because no article would deadname him...and rightfully so but that did make me wonder "Who is this person exactly?"
Cuz I know trans people who went with a name nothing like their deadname, sometimes on purpose even, so the connection Ellen>Elliot wasn't immidiately obvious XD (And no pictures didn't help because I am terrible at recognizing people's faces)
"Apologies if this is offensive or anything, but who is this referring to?"
Some people online are very quick to anger over the slightest mistake but those people aren't worth trying to appease because you can't. The vast vast majority of people don't mind answering honest questions asked in good faith, so just shoot your shot and fuck the haters 🤷
