You'd think the whole acceptance thing would be helped by the idea of "There were going by this name they're now this name" to show a very clear yes they've transitioned. Rather than trying to pretend that's always been their name. Hell I don't think the name they were going by at the time should matter you can still argue they might have felt like they were a dude but they didn't present as such.

I mean using those standards my mate shagged a guy called Clive because 5 year after he broke up with a girl she transitioned to being a man lol. It's kinda stupid really to think about.

I'm not saying suddenly Elliot appears into existence give all the past to them too and history but it seems weird to erase the time he was female.

I think it's some bullshit with idiots pushing people claiming unless they conform to their rigid gender binary ideas they're Trans. It's a lot of activist types pushing this and often seemingly people on the spectrum being convinced about such things that they don't fit in because they're trans or something.

How hard would it have been for them to say "Ellen page is now Elliot Page" or something like that.

Also I kind of hope for their sake that they are Trans and not seriously confused as this seems to be the path a person I know took. Came out as Lesbian, then decided they were Trans, for some reason thinking being a guy would make it easier for them to get dates then realise being a guy wasn't anywhere near that easy so last I heard they were trying to claim to be nonbinary to try and get the best of both worlds seemingly and they were not having a very good time of it

Loony Lefty to English dictionary

Bootlickers = Anyone not supporting the glorious jackbooted revolutionaries as they take on the oppressive government. They call you boot licker because that's what they want to do, stomp you down and make you lick their boots so they can humiliate you more as they then just keep stomping.

They don't care, hell they want it to happen because Andy and the people he talks to are the ones who call them out on their bullshit so taking down Andy and scarring the people who employ him is what they want.

No they likely messaged him in private and said to protect his account for a bit as they were getting a lot of reports and he should probably delete that and any other such material or they'll have to take action.

Rather than what they do to regular plebs which is just ban you outright regardless of context and let the people who started the fight just walk away with no repercussions.

Jesus, this is a whole new level of both paranoia and a weird thing I've nicknamed "Hyperempathy" where people are being demanded to be empathetic about everything that any little thing or bit of awfulness in the world causes them to have a near breakdown.
