Well, I had a good view of Ellen.

So, uh, does this means he will drop his future roles as female characters? And renounce everything he said about being lesbian? I mean, how can you come out as lesbian if apparently you were a straight man all along?

Frankly if this was just some random actress whatever, it's her life. But it's really disappointing coming from an actress that turned herself into a lesbian icon, that was upfront about her sexuality, but apparently he was never a woman, so also not a lesbian woman.

In a post where he mentions the words "trans" and "queer" multiple times, not once there is a mention of "lesbian" or "gay" - although these were the words Ellen used before, these were the communities she fought for. But apparently we were just stones to step on the way.

I wonder if her wife will now have to come out as bi/straight.

oh yeah I'm curious is he now a straight dude? he mentioned he is queer but he is exclusively into women.. so queer is meaningless of course.

Hopefully she will peak a lot of people

hope so. the extremism of this movement is cray cray. Question: as a non lesbian, am I allowed to say that it's not logical to ask lesbians to be attracted/open to dating trans women who are of the opposite sex? because according to a canadian friend of mine, I can't speak on that cause I'm not a lesbian, but no one gives me an answer IRL how that makes sense? I even start it with "if gender and sex are seperate .." - me casually trying to peak some people ;)

No, you're using logic. We are homoSEXual! You could argue that for straight women too, you're allowed to reject trans men

Well apparently I can think that but I can't say that. So can't advocate for others rights to their sexual orientation or justify mine. - basically you can't have an opinion that goes against the approved narrative.

You have every right to say the truth. So many lesbians stay silent on this or lie, b/c we're afraid of being called "tErF" and losing our friends. Is your Canadian friend a lesbian? Why do they have more right to speak than you?

nope not even a lesbian, will keep trying if the opportunity comes up.

If that friend of yours isn't even a lesbian, why is she adamant on controlling the narrative or who is allowed to talk on lesbian issues, and what stances are politically correct? If it's safe for you, I'd ask that (phrased in a kinder way though).

I wasn't surprised every brainwashed sjw or sjw like person will say you can't speak on a certain issue if your not concerned. On trans issues? lol the correct stance is that lesbians should be open to dating people with dicks or they're invalidating them as women. - i kid you not someone insisted on that... then behind my back called me a bigot.
