Which is absurd.  Using Page as an example, how would he ever refer to his entire prior life as Ellen?  Are his parents simply instructed to forget Ellen ever existed?  I have nothing against the trans community, but this sort of nonsense is exactly why they receive pushback and questions.  It’s as if the previous person is to be erased.  “Deadname” says it all.   :roll: [/quote]

Again for the people in the back...

Does Page refer to his own prior life in published articles he writes?

Are his parents journalists publishing articles discussing him?

The recommendations are about publishing.  No different from setting standards as to if Charles' or Charles's is correct.

You can't say "I have nothing against the trans community" and then say something they feel is important is "nonsense" in the same sentence. You do in fact have something against the trans community if you think their feelings about something important to them is nonsense.

It's not erasing the previous person, it's correcting something that was wrong for a long time. The articles written in the past will still exist.  No one is getting into a time machine and changing things.   Dealing with something in a new way moving forward is not an erasure.
