By changing sex, actor disappears from All Time Stats

Trakt Questions & Help
1

Hello,
a bit of a specific ‘‘problem’’ that raises mostly ethical questions rather than actual issues with the website.

I have been a fan of Elliot Page since before they were called Elliot. I can say I have watched most of their life work and, previous the change of identity, Elliot was prominent in my All Time Stats in the category Most Watched Actress, as this April 2020 screenshot shows:

Yet, after Ellen became Elliot, after the actress became the actor, is now nowhere to be seen in my latest All Time Stats as you can see here:

I know this is a delicate matter, but from the actor official Twitter seems clear to me that he is male now, so I think he should be placed in the Actors category, rather than being removed all together.

Are you sure Elliot would be among your top 10 most watched Actors?
Also the namechange might have messed with the stats so that your watch count for Ellen doesn’t count towards Elliot.

Yeah, the alg seems to be adding movies + shows and my current count for EP is at least 23, which would place him between Hanks and Tudyk.

On Trakt, there is no gender for Elliot Page listed. We get the data from TMDB and they have non binary for the gender, which Trakt doesn’t currently support.

Thanks. This explains it. Maybe in the future all actors could be merged under the same category, with no sex distinction. I guess this could be an option in trakt settings?
Not a mandatory thing, but an option would be cool.
