Of course it's baffling; largely because it's still completely unclear what her transition means. We haven't seen her, so we don't know if she's getting top surgery or just cutting her hair off, or what.

It was also a mistake to infer that she was transitioning to male because she's adopted male pronouns. On closer reading, she never identifies as specific gender. 'Trans' is apparently a gender identity in itself now. In reality, she appears to be transitioning to 'anything-but-a-lesbian-woman'.

It's 'baffling' because the Newspeak of the new gender culture requires us to deny our own memories, our own lived experience, by pretending that a woman named 'Ellen Page' never existed, never publicly came out as a proud lesbian. We're required to believe that a man portrayed all those female characters - so convincingly that he was indistinguishable from a woman.

And when and if 'Elliot Page' does detransition, what then becomes of Elliot? Did he ever exist?
