Six years on, referring to Ellen Page as "she" in the wake of her interview with Oprah about her transition to "Elliot Page" would be considered a hate crime in many quarters. "Deadnaming" now gets you unpersoned on social media.

Page famously posted a letter to social media explaining her decision, and she did this not just for personal reasons, but for political ones. "I was expressing this to people in my life much before posting that letter, and telling people for the first time, and knowing I wanted a moment to become comfortable in myself and to be able to get to that point," the 34-year-old actress said.

"For me, in this time we're in right now and especially with this horrible backlash we're seeing towards trans people, particularly trans youth, it really felt imperative to do so."

In states where this is occurring, biological males are cleaning house and taking home awards once designated for females. Resistance to this cultural sea change is now being reliably referred to as a "backlash," as if those declining to accept the near-instantaneous restructuring of society are the aggressors in this culture war...
