Her statements are confusing is she really implying “children will die” if they don’t play sports? Genuinely wtf happened to her lol

It makes me wonder if she's always been crazy, or if these are side effects of rapid onset gender dysphoria.

My money's on always troubled and something sent her over the edge in the last couple of years.

Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if she was being forced to transition by Hollywood or another evil force, something about the way she's acting right now seems very off, in a different way than transguys who transition voluntarily, who are usually bold and outspoken, not timid and nervous like the way Ellen is acting right now

Ellen Page's transition seems like a new spin of the way singers and actresses in their late 30s/early 40s have public breakdowns or go haywire from industry pressure, paparazzi stalkers, etc. With the gender zeitgeist, her breakdown is being lauded as "brave, stunning", etc.

From what I gather she's been involved in the Social Justice end of things for at least a decade. Sooner or later the revolution always eats its own, maybe she figured that out and is literally trying to hide to protect herself.

She was also victim of sexual harassment in Hollywood, abuse is a common thing that drives FtM into transitioning.

Wouldn’t surprise me, which is sad. Hollywood execs have a lot of power.

She's a rich actress. Nobody is forcing her to do anything. Please, let's stop with the cliché that women can't make decisions, including bad decisions, by themselves.

They can. They can also be targeted by predators who actually enjoy bringing them down. They aren't immune.

Ellen Page is rich, adult, and famous. She wasn't "forced to transition". Women can make their own decisions, even when they're awful.

This seems to need to be explicitly stated, so: We weren't there and don't actually know what's going on with her, so repeating this statement actually doesn't make it more true. That's a rather futile tactic to take (and a very TRA tactic). Odd approach to take to dialogue on this particular sub, no?

Narcissistic abusers can reduce anyone to rubble including the rich and famous, and they love juicy targets. That is my point, which I am now repeating with more words attached so it's perfectly clear.

And not every rich, famous person is also psychologically resilient. I refer you to every performer who ever killed themselves in response to the radical reality shift forced upon them by stardom. Try having some empathy for people who are "fortunate" (in quotes, because fame has serious downsides as well sometimes) too, maybe?

Do you also ask "why did she stay" every time a woman doesn't leave her abuser? I bet not.

And that concludes my interest in this subthread.

I wanna be that "fortunate". I'll take the burden and the serious downsides of being filthy rich and world famous. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

I think many of us would try to make that work, but it isn't for everyone. Which some find out the hard way.

funny how she went HER ENTIRE LIFE with this "feeling" and endured it till now but everything needs to have a sense of urgency to panic everyone.
