I have a question about Ellen Page, however.

As far as I am concerned you do you, I don’t really care what your particular brand of crazy is as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody else as I am sure I have mine. That said has she gone through surgery to become “male” so to speak or did she just decide on day I’m a guy. Like I might decide one day I’m a Dalmatian and I piss on your leg? I mean I honestly don’t care beyond the medical facts that there are only two genders but is this a “real” thing or just a lesbian wanting to be the “more manly” side? Again I don’t REALLY give a shit. You do you, just curious really and if you are not going to surgically alter yourself are you really transgender? I mean love him/her or not Bruce Jenner at least went all in with his/her chips so to speak.

At any rate I really want to go back to a world where when somebody said tranny your first thought was 4,5 or 6 speed.


I'm not an expert, but I believe you are confusing "sex" with "gender". Sex refers to biological attributes. Gender refers to socially constructed roles and identities . One can be transgender without undergoing a sex change.

It's all so very confusing.


The gay community supports him. He is a T in the LGBTQ lineup.

He is gender non-binary, neither identifying as male or female, thus not "technically" hetero as you suggest because of his gender.

In any case, my understanding is that if Elliott is into people with female biological sex organs, that he would still be considered homosexual as he is sexually (i.e. biologically) a female.

Gender and sex are not the same, although often used interchangeably.

Very true about gender vs. sex.

Well, in any case she/he/whatever fits right into the crazy that is Umbrella Academy.

Season 3 should be pretty good Cool

I liked season 3 and the series overall. In fact, I watched through it again to prepare for Season 3, though I skipped through much of the parts with Vanya/Victor because those parts were my least favorite and dragged on. Character-wise, I like Klaus the most, and especially the "reluctant cult leader" schtick, which was spot-on and entertaining as hell.
