Is it deadnaming when you are referring to a trans person at a time when they were their assigned at birth gender and name?
My guess is yes but I’m not sure. The reason why I say that is Elliott’s older work is now listed as Elliot and not their old name.
Yes but Elliot page wasn’t in this movie. Ellen Page was. If he makes a movie now of course it’s Elliott page but I think it’s weird to go back in time and erase things.

They updated everything to reflect the new name.
Hi, trans person here. I often describe my life before beginning to transition as an act or a job I had to perform, but wasn’t really me. Anything I did in my old role was done by me, not the character.
In Elliot’s case, he was a dude playing a dudette, dressed up as another dudette. Whatever performance was happening on or off camera doesn’t ultimately change who the person actually is.
Generally yes, unless stated otherwise. Basically assume that person always was that gender and had that name.
There are some edge cases with people like actors, where things like their work is footnoted with something like “credited as XYZ”. although some people are feeling even that is still bad. (I don’t have a skin in the game, this is just what I know from trans people around me)
