Also, is Ellen Page now gonna be vying for best actor awards, as opposed to best actress ones? She'll find she's up for some stiff(y) competition, LOL. I doubt many male actors will look kindly on her trying to horn in on their turf.

Wonder if her coming out as trans is coz she's jockeying for some juicy "trans" parts? Perhaps "Rub 'n' Tug" is being brought out of development exile for her to star in?

But jeez, how would she ever play a male? She's tiny, with very delicate features and looks totally female. I don't think she has the chops or range that would allow her to be convincing as a male or sexually ambiguous character as so many actresses before her (Barbra Streisand, Julie Andrews, Ellen Barkin, Hillary Swank, etc) have done.

(Part of this comment was removed because I made a mistake).

Regardless, I was saying to my partner today- if EP gets her breasts removed, will she wear prosthetics to play female roles? How stupid does that sound.

There was a TiM in Queen's Gambit but it wasn't the actor who played Benny (which is the character I'm assuming you're referring to). The TiM is Rebecca Root who plays the chapel teacher at the orphanage. The actor who plays Benny is the boy who was in Love Actually and in Game of Thrones. As far as I know he is an actual male! He just has delicate features (like many child actors do).

Ok I’m silly, I confused the guy who played Benny for Elliot Fletcher, lol. Thank you for the correction!
