The way I found out about his transition was this:

A bit confused until I looked it up.

It's kinda funny that the whole Vanya - Viktor trans thing in S3 Umbrella Academy had his siblings behaving pretty similarly. The vibe was pretty wholesome. Basically "I don't really understand it, but you're my bro and we're trying to save the world. On with the plot!"

This is exactly why I try to engage with the apparent trolls sometimes. 95% of the time your reading is right and you disengage shortly after but one in twenty times there’s just a confused person on the other end that needs a little helping hand 🥹❤️

There, children, see what happens when you give people the benefit of the doubt instead of brainlessly attacking them to fuel your savior complex?

They got the spirit.

It was just like this helping my parents with generational racism. It’s all about willful open-mindedness on their part, and good-intention assuming education on ours.

Wholesome 😊

but for real, when this announcement came out it actually took me real effort to figure out who the fuck Elliot page was because they hadn't really been that active at the time otherwise. no fucking articles anywhere mentioned what they used to be called so i was genuinely very confused.

It will be interesting to see if they make Inception 2 (or one of the other movies) and then still cast Elliot.
