The letter was also extremely angry. There was zero talk about Page's gender journey. It seemed more like a political attack. I think Page probably saw the Keira Bell news and decided to lash out. The announcement came just an hour or two after Keira's win. I would guess Page had been planning an announcement anyway, but this was the trigger.

I do wonder about that. I think this is why it rubbed me the wrong way too. If she were to be like, hey I know you know me as Ellen, but please accept that I am Elliot, I think it wouldn't have been so offputting. Instead it was almost like how dare you see me as a woman, even though you have known me all along as a woman! It is honestly creepy how everyone is not seeing how weird this is.

I think most people see. They're just scared to say anything. The majority of people still believe that biological sex is real and can't be changed by fiat.

it is interesting how Reddit, Twitter and Wikipedia are just so cowed into submission.

It's by design. I'm shocked such a small minority group has so much power over the mainstream media.
