Excerpt from HearHearTheQueer's monthly web letter: "Not a stranger to extreme method acting, once Page assumed the identity of a woman for over two decades to prepare for her role in Beyond: Two Souls, where he became the first award winner of the meta acting award, being a fake man playing a fake woman. You don't need two dads for this point to become transparent: go see this bitch, slay,"

For arguments sake if Elliott does have buyer's remorse is it possible to revert back yet again to a woman. I don't know much about either procedure but to me it seems it would be easier than a man who transitioned to a woman since all your external stuff is sliced and diced off whereas a born woman would still have all her internal components or are those removed when transitioning?
Top surgery can be done on a detransition, but the mutilation look will remain. No, on the bottom surgery, too many complications and risks. On a woman they remove the vagina walls, ovaries, etc. It will be all gone and will never be able to be a regular person again.

There aren’t a lot of studies out there yet, as it is early on with detransitioners coming out. You can find a few on JSTOR.org. I used the site for our APA papers in college and it has just about every medical journal, economics, just a plethora of information.

I don’t believe you even have to have a college log on anymore and can log in just using your google. Hope this helps.

When Reddit used to have gender critical there were a lot of long term care and hospice nurses who were talking about how patients were crazy to calm down because their brains eventually course correct and they'd fight about who mutilated their bodies. That was my first experience with questioning transition in all but extreme circumstances but they obviously got rid of that board

David Cage wanted this and praised "him"... yeah, Cage has always been pretentious trash.

I enjoyed Omikron Soul despite its narrative absurdity, but that was the last decent game he touched. Elevating soap-opera drivel like Heavy Rain to represent "art" in gaming was a huge embarrassment for the industry in retrospect.

Another film based on a SIE IP (well, I think it still is?) that SIE is not involved in.
Not sure why Page would want to do this, Beyond: Two Souls was legit terrible.
Why Sony would care about Beyond IP when they have real good stuff to pick before that one

I won't go hard on the game, had some moderate fun with it even if it was a total mess, no way there's anything left to get outta that game after you "played" it, guess Elliot can produce it for pennies and sell it to Netflix which is used to get trash series for their muh content service

Yeah, the female -> male transition would be much harder than the reverse. I don't mean biologically, I mean socially. Young attractive female, you've got it made. Young, short physically unappealing guy, not so much.

I think what you're forgetting is that they're not a naturally born male. Probably has more privileges as a result; get coddled, haters get dogpiled, etc.

Meanwhile if a legitimate male says anything (even if justified), they get shamed, it's seen as complaining, and get pelted with insults.

I liked the game. Not really interested in watching it as a TV show.

It'll be kind of weird seeing it adapted to TV with undoubtedly inferior actors. You can't beat Dafoe.

Are they all just intentionally ignoring the 800lb elephant in the room?

How can they make a TV show of Beyond: Two Souls now that Elliot Page is a dude? Are they really just going to make the game character trans now and pretend that the audience won't notice?

Doing so on the Umbrella Acadamy was sooo bad that even the producers fucking cringed over it.

This is gonna bomb hard.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

I don't think they've said that Elliot will star in the show. It's just the production studio.

I dunno... maybe I'm reading too much into it, but this reads like he is going to star in the TV too:

“We are absolutely thrilled to collaborate again with Elliot Page on this project,” said Quantic Dream writer and director, David Cage. “I was blown away by his acting performance in the game, and I couldn’t think of anyone else to tell this story with the same passion on another medium. Beyond: Two Souls is a very special game for millions of players around the world who were moved by the story of Jodie and Aiden, and their journey in life and beyond. I know that Elliot has all the talent and instinct to make it something really unique on TV.”

They only talent of Elliot they know is his acting chops. So, I'm interpreting this to mean he expects to star in it too as well as produce.

Holy mother of God and Christ in a fucking kitchen making sandwiches together. What the hell did that girl do to herself? Wasn’t it just a damn woman in some show? I know she was, my wife watched it about an academy.

Someone really needs to start opening mental health institutions, again. I feel horrible for these folks being told it will make all their pain go away. She is going to end up like the thousands of other detransitioners that got fucked over by doctors looking for more money.

Reminds me of those crazies that found each other on the internet that the government was beaming rays into their heads and following them. They kept telling each other you’re not crazy and that got crazy quick, also.
She transitioned in the final season.
The writers handled it well, mentioning it once and then never again.

It’s a shame mental illness is allowed to get this bad.

I hope all doctors involved with this type of physical abuse see time in future.

Ellen Page was a stunning looking woman. Beautiful 'girl next door' looks. To see the weird cenobite type thing she's turned herself into....smh. Tragedy doesn't begin to describe it.
Man, Elliot used to be beautiful, i would just have accepted it since it's too early for true sex surgery anyways (try again maybe in 150 years)
