I follow the development of elementary for a while now and even contributed a little bit from time to time and this is honestly the first time I heard of this name change. So I think it is an easy mistake to make and would not automatically assume malice here.

Her twitter (which Lunduke links to, and copied tweets from) very prominently features her new name. I'm not saying it can't be accidental (in which case you do what you do when you've accidentally been rude - apologize, correct your mistake and move on), but it is at least careless.

  A few years ago Lunduke kept sharing some views that I would place in the more “reactionary“ spectrum. I’m not sure he ever distanced himself from that. He did interview Danielle a few years back however.(1) So maybe it simply was a careless mistake.

  > Her twitter (which Lunduke links to, and copied tweets from) very prominently features her new name. It's worth mentioning the twitter handle is still "DanielFore"

    This is incorrect, the twitter handle is "DaniElainaFore" - https://mobile.twitter.com/DaniElainaFore https://mobile.twitter.com/DaniElainaFore As you can see in the linked screenshots. Try to open the old handle and you will find one tweet telling you she's moved to the new one.

      This handle is actually pretty new since the post-sex transition.

        This handle is in the archive links the article points to, and that's the important part. Lunduke had this handle on his screen, and either missed it or chose to ignore it on purpose. The former is careless and sloppy, especially if you're trying to do journalism. The latter is very rude, to put it mildly.

Even if you followed her on Twitter, and "reported" on a thread with the name Danielle staring at you above each tweet? I'd argue that by that point you'd be pretty aware.

But Lunduke must have known.
