I couldn't believe it and looked on wikipedia. They have already changed all the pronouns and her name.

This is so stupid.

You're telling me that after 33 years you discovered you're a mAn iNSiDe? You're whole career is based on your pretty look and cute face!

Yes Ellen, when people see your photos they clearly think of a man now, just because you say so. Ceci n'est pas une pipe.

I actually remember her coming out video from a few years ago, she seemed so happy and free and sure of herself. And now we're supposed to believe that she was actually secretly unhappy and grappling with her gender identity all this time?

She came out at an event hosted by the Human Rights Campaign and has continued to work with them, so she very likely has been groomed into this. Obviously she's a grown woman (or was lol), but I'm sure it has been difficult for her to be a tomboyish lesbian in Hollywood.

She came out at an event hosted by the Human Rights Campaign

The Scrotum Rights Campaign is increasingly coming across like the gender ideology equivalent of the Church of Scientology. Perhaps it should be called the Church of Genderology.

I call them the Human Rites Champagne

Also, so many people (particularly those of us who don't watch movies like "X-Men" or TV series like all the ones she's been in) know Page principally or exclusively for playing a pregnant teenager in "Juno." Everyone back when "Juno" came out thought the pregnant teen was a girl, and Page was a young woman. Now are we supposed to believe it was a man or someone without a sex who played that role, and the girl was the first pregnant transman? Amazing what a huge leap human evolution has made in just a few short years. /s

This pathetic jockeying for the limelight has gotten to the point that celebrities should start getting annual awards for the most attention-seeking ways of making use of gender identity idiocy. Sams Smiths would win the 2020 "AMAB" at birth prize, and Page would be a contender for the "AFAB" award. Just imagine the get-ups and all the posturing and preening on the red carpet. And the droning, ponderous, self-important speeches - they'd be priceless (in a hilarious way).

The film is retroactively bigoted now.

I remember Page for playing Stacie Andree in the movie Freeheld.

It's interesting that you mentioned that Page is 33 - she'll be 34 in February. Wonder if her epiphany and new identity has anything to do with the widely-held belief in Hollywood that 35 is when a female actor is washed up and beyond her "sell-by date"?

From what I can see, the woke and especially people who are TRAs tend not just to be incredibly misogynistic, but they're extremely and blatantly ageist too - and the worst of their ageism is directed squarely and solely at women. This cult is all about "girls" and hates women beyond a certain age.

Even Meryl Streep went through a very rough period in middle-age when the roles dried up and she felt she had to glam and sex herself up to make herself more marketable. It was only when Streep started playing roles of older women that her career caught fire again.

There's a quote by Meryl where she says the year she turned 40 she received 3 different offers to play a witch.

I’m 50% sure this is a publicist imposed idea, kind of like how a lot of female musicians claim to be bi and are not because their publishers told them it’d make male fans find them more interesting and make female fans think they have a chance or something.

[–]VioletRemi 46 insightful - 1 fun46 insightful - 0 fun47 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

Literally 1 year ago she was saying that she is cool being woman and will always be staring as lesbian characters in movies. Not lasted long.

[–]MarkTwainiac 25 insightful - 1 fun25 insightful - 0 fun26 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

It seems that she switched her talent agency representation within the past year. Seems she has a new publicist too. Wonder if that has something to do with it.

[–]bopomofodojo 20 insightful - 1 fun20 insightful - 0 fun21 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I wouldn't doubt for a second that this is a calculated move from the talent agency and publicist. "Come out as trans now, you'll go up 8% in approval ratings among wokies and that will sell your next role". Also wonder how related this is to the backlash against Halle Berry, maybe Ellen cough sorry Elliot, just wants to play a transman in an upcoming movie and is concerned about the woke backlash. What better way around it than to just claim she's a man?

I'm sure there could be personal aspects to it as well. Maybe the Hollywood woke scene finally convinced her that she must really be a man since she doesn't like dick, who knows. Like everything about genderism, and cults in general, the motivations of the true believers and victims cannot truly be known.

When this shit falls out of fashion - either genderism or Page's career, whichever is first, I bet she'll be right back to boring lesbian Ellen Page.

Social impact and damage was still done, even if she make one movie and "detrans" back.

[–]hfxB0oyA 12 insightful - 3 fun12 insightful - 2 fun13 insightful - 3 fun -  (2 children)

Though she seems earnest, she never seemed all that bright.

[–]sallyseton 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

She's Canadian. Earnestness is a national trait.

Back in the day you had to actually live as a mazn or a woman for like 6 months. This is actually sane. Now the minute you say you are a man or a woman, you are one! Who cares if she has literally been a woman for 33 years. She is a dude now because she says so. I don't know why ?I am so upset about this.

[–]MarkTwainiac 45 insightful - 1 fun45 insightful - 0 fun46 insightful - 1 fun -  (10 children)

Back in the day you had to actually live as a mazn or a woman for like 6 months

But how does one "live as a man or a woman"? When people explain what that means, it's always just superficial things like clothing, hairstyles, grooming, voice, silly stereotypes - and of course trans persons' unwarranted belief that coz they dress or alter their body in certain ways, they are entitled to ride roughshod over other people's sex-based boundaries and rights, and "deserve" to use the toilets, changing rooms and other facilities and services and programs meant for the opposite sex.

I'm a retirement-age woman whose attire, grooming and affect are like most women past middle-age - which is to say, we are absolutely nothing at all like Blaire White, Contrapoints, Gigi Gorgeous or Ru Paul when in full drag in our appearance or affect. But by the regressively sexist standards of trans ideology, those males count more as women than we do - even though we're the the only ones who because of our female sex and our female bodies in a male-supremacist, misogynistic world have spent our entire lives dealing with a ton of issues and barriers that males - no matter how they "present" and how "girly" they think they look and act - have never faced, and never will face.

The whole ideology is sexist tosh based on cosplay, stereotypes, superficiality, fantasy and denial of material reality.

Back when I was more of a libfem, I felt more bullied into accepting transwomen as women and I don't know, lately I have been getting more and more bothered by it. I am also tired of traswomen being hyperfeminine and ornamental, while of course transmen get to be people. It is extremely sexist to act like sex and gender are completely different.

[–]shveya 16 insightful - 1 fun16 insightful - 0 fun17 insightful - 1 fun -  (8 children)

I was over libfems almost a decade before I even realized how sexist and regressive TRAs were. They were the first people to tell me that sexual preferences are wrong and that I don't have the right to turn down someone down for sex if they've had their genitals surgically altered. They live to grovel for men.

[–]questioningtw 22 insightful - 1 fun22 insightful - 0 fun23 insightful - 1 fun -  (7 children)

I have seen TIFS complain about gay men rejecting them too. I thought feminism was about how no is a complete sentence.

[–]shveya 17 insightful - 1 fun17 insightful - 0 fun18 insightful - 1 fun -  (6 children)

I've seen a lot of TiFs on reddit claim gay men are transphobic for not wanting them. I even read an interview with a TiF in London who would trick men in clubs into having sex with her.

[–]questioningtw 22 insightful - 1 fun22 insightful - 0 fun23 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

That is rape. People should be able to reject someone for any reason when it comes to the dating world.

[–]shveya 23 insightful - 1 fun23 insightful - 0 fun24 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

100% true, it's astonishing how many transpeople seem okay with rape by deception.

[–]EveSerpent 15 insightful - 1 fun15 insightful - 0 fun16 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Not really. Their whole lives are based on deception and entitlement to have everyone bend to what they want, irregardless of what anyone else wants.

[–]MarkTwainiac 13 insightful - 1 fun13 insightful - 0 fun14 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

In the UK, it's not rape, coz per UK law rape is penetration by a penis (a real one, attached to a male). What this TIF was doing was sex by deception.

[–]distortedlinds 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

WELL said, seriously

[–]MezozoicGay 8 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 0 fun9 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I've heard about one such story too. And read few similar stories, but with TiM coercing young lesbians to have sex with him, and then no one from their woke friends were supporting her, but calling transphobic after she was raped like this.

[–]cristi 6 insightful - 1 fun6 insightful - 0 fun7 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

She was never cute to me though. Anyway, I only hope this stops with her. No need to have more lesbian celebrities doing this damage to us.

[–]PassionateIntensity 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

No need to have more lesbian celebrities doing this damage to us.

I'm so afraid of this I started a list of who I think are next. (Teagan&Sarah are #1.)
