It was actually super cool, when Elliot came out he went to the showrunners to let them know they had nothing to fear, he wouldn't change his appearance or anything because he was signed on for the show length.

And the show runners in an industry first established a new gold standard by telling him "Nah, how about we just make Vanya into Victor and make it canonical." So they worked with Page giving him a lot of creative control over the character's personal journey and showed probably the best depiction of early transition on tv.
