Man, I think the whimsy inside me died. I was in line at midnight to pick up my switch on launch night, but I wasn’t even aware the switch 2 had come out.

Wait, what? That’s disappointing. I use Shinigamieyes, haven’t noticed anything weird yet.

That makes sense, thanks!

That’s very logical and easy to understand. Personally I wouldn’t be upset if I was Elliott, but there are many trans people who have a strong aversion to hearing their old name. Again, comes down to the audience, but a lot of folks would say something like, “before he transitioned”, rather than mentioning the old name.

Hope I don’t sound too nitpicky, just wanted to say it in case it helps.

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.

I have all the issues with Discord that you mention, but struggle to find a better alternative. Do you have any recommendations?
