Former Juno star, Elliot Page has come out as a trans male today and is now using he/they pronouns in his bio. Wonder how David Cage would react?

There's a difference between transsexual and transgender.

That is because trans women are mentioned far more.

You shouldn't misgender or deadname people.

Edit: Did I need downvotes for calling out transphobia?

How's calling someone by their previous name any worse depending whether the person has changed their gender identity or not?

Because it's specifically referring to someone as something they no longer consider themselves to be, and acts to degrade their identity. It's difficult for a lot of people to fully grasp why it's hurtful since they have no frame of reference for it, and I'm hardly the best at explaining it, so I'd recommend asking any trans people you know if they'd be comfortable discussing it with you in more detail.

As a trans person, it's rude and offensive to deadname trans people, and what that new user just did was worse as they not just deadname him, but also purposely misgendered him.

Editing your post wondering about the downvotes is justified. Stand tall. Your opinion is valid regardless.
