Hi I hope this is the right place to post this. How do I address someone who has transitioned but acted before? For example Ellen Page acted in quite a few films before transitioning. He, Elliot, still acts. Do I address the time spent identifying as a woman and say this is a slice of existence and identify as such?

For starters, you call them the name they want to be called from the start and don't put it in parentheses.
