I've never thought that she was a good actress by any metric.

She plays every role exactly the same: Monotone and completely devoid of emotion, regardless of what's going on around her.

I have no idea how she continues to score leading roles.

So Vanya was gay in the show. Does she come out as trans in season 3? I mean there has to be outrage that dudes are taking female roles in shows.

Someone or some place I heard it was good. It was good alright, good and freaky. I don't think I could watch again. Kind of reminded me of the old movie from the 70's with Diane Keaton, Looking for Mr. Goodbar, that movie is so freaky they don't ever show it anywhere. Richard Gere was the weirdo in that film, if you can believe that.

Here's a preview of Hard Candy

If the writers knew that she was going to come out as transgender, it's more than likely included in Season 3's story arc created for this season.

If not, it might be a last minute addition, which would possibly muck up the narrative by forcing her personal story into the overall story arc.

What, if anything, do they do with her name on the credits on all the work she did before she decided her name wasn’t Ellen?
Would they go back and change them? Seems complicated, since credits are more than just a standard type font?

She wasn't bad in it either. The detached monotone works for that part.

It's a fairly simple and quick process, other than the render time, and Netflix has already re-rendered all of the episodes of Umbrella Academy to reflect the new name. They've also announced that he will continue to be a cast member of the show.

As for the non-Netflix titles, I doubt there's a budget available on those Indie films to make those kind of changes and I'm not sure it makes much sense to change the name on older movies like X Men 3, Inception, et al.

It would probably be confusing to the viewer as well, especially first time viewers.

1. Don't use their birth name, not ever. You forget that shit ever existed
2. "You'll always be [dead name] to me" is not the compliment you think it is 🙃
3. "She is now a he" is a phrase y'all should drop from your trans phrase arsenal, effective immediately
4. Correct people if they use the wrong pronouns
5. Don't ask them what surgeries they've had or plan on having
6. "OMG I never would have known you were trans--" is also not the compliment you think it is
7. If you slip up on name/pronouns, just correct yourself and move on. Please, dear god, don't make it a big deal
8. Make an effort on pronouns
9. "He, she, it, whatever" is not the funny comment you think it is (@ my dad)
10. You don't get a special prize for using the right name and pronouns, 'tis a basic respect 🙂 Don't act like you're doing them a favor
11. Ask what you can do to support them!!!!
12. Everyone transitions in their own way and at their own pace. Y'all don't get to police that
13. Don't ask them if their label on their sexuality has changed. That's for them to know and y'all to find out
14. Please just be respectful
15. In the case of Elliot Page, it's safe to refer to roles he's played by the pronouns of the character being played (ex. he played a character named Juno, and Juno used she/her pronouns), but otherwise y'all should be using his actual pronouns, full stop.

The more you know...

I try my best to use the correct pronoun but my wife and kids would occasionally catch me earlier this year when I refer to Them as “she”, which I didn’t say disrespectfully by any stretch of the imagination but it definitely takes some time to adjust.

You rock, BTW.

We should all go with "Zhe". It works universally and then there's no implied gender or lack thereof.

"What's Rain Man doing?" "Zhe's creating a poll."
"Is Halle Berry naked in that movie?" "Yes, zhe is and I like it."
"Is Elliott Page dating Michael Cera?" "No, zhe isn't. Zhe doesn't swing that way."

It makes all the sense in the world for society to switch to one gender-irrelevant pronoun.

I will make it real simple. Look in your underwear. See a set of balls? Youre a male. Dont see a set of balls? Got a set of ovaries and bleed monthly for a week? Female.

Gender dysphoria is a horrific mental disorder to be stricken with, but dont expect me to refer to a female as a man, no matter what name she decides to go by.

Why people are assisted in mutilating themselves due to symptoms of a mental disorder is quite beyond me.

Agreed. Altering the very construct of the English language by saying plurals don't mean what they mean anymore is a non-starter. Especially when we are talking about .5% of the population.

The children refer to the teacher with the letter T and Their name. So for example, if Their name is Barbara, the kids refer to Them as T.B. or Teacher Barb. The kids don't use those pronouns in the same way the adults use them.

It's easier for me to refer to Them as "T.B." rather than They or Them, mainly so I don't make a mistake and sound disrespectful because my brain automatically thinks then says She or Her.

FWIW, Binary means that the person doesn't identify as a Male or Female, hence They, Them, et al.
