Let me get this straight: Ellen, a very vocal lesbian and all things LBGTQ rights, has now come out as a 'trans' (no surprise to me as 'she' wasn't very feminine looking). Yet, he/she emphatically states that he/she is gay. So, 'she' was originally a 'he' who was attracted to women. Wouldn't that make 'him' hetero? Good God, a psychiatrist could make a complete fortune off this poor person's self-image. At most levels, I could not care less. At some level, I feel very, very sorry for this person who is very messed up in the head and, evidently, has some severe self-image problems. Somebody somewhere let her/him down and didn't get him/her the help needed.

Its okay. I’m sure you’ll be just fine, snowflake.
People like this deserve sympathy and patience from others. But this should be called what it is, a psychological issue.
I thought I was pretty good at boolean logic, but this shit is confusing.
You know, it’s really not anyone’s concern how anyone lives their life. As long as they follow the laws it’s their business.
Is it your concern when you are penalized for not endorsing it?
Snowflake? Huh? I just commented on how confusing this situation is and Yahoo is already trumpeting how 'courageous', etc. he/she is. I'm with Jumper on this one: this person deserves some sympathy and years of therapy. Not sure how that's a 'snowflake' reaction but, whatever.
And, yes, I also agree with WGAF except it showed up on my entertainment feed and I thought it worthy of comment. I assume you, Catman, disagree. More power to ya!
My WGAF is more directed at who cares what a Hollywood liberal proclaims, not at the OP.
Listen, you are either smart or not. If you’re smart, you know the answers. If not, you know how google works. However, even an incompetent such as yourself should know that your fellow travelers endorse hate crime laws for people that refuse to embrace this unscientific dogma.
OP you're wrong as well. She was born a she who is gay. Then decided she wants to be a he. So at no point prior to now was he a he. Still a gay trans woman who wants to be a man. I'm assuming he will work on becoming a he.
But look, it doesn't have any impact on your life. So who cares

I love how someone goes "So, what will the award be.. Best Trans Actor?" I laughed.
I'm just waiting for the day I can walk into the CEO's office and go "I feel like I'm the CEO today" and just push him out of his chair.

Then I misread it. I thought the article said that she used to be a he not that she is going to be transitioning to a he. So she has always felt like a he. But, if she successfully transitions to a he and dates women, wouldn't the new he be hetero? See how confusing this gets?
I think I just gave myself a headache.
Is this like the episode of South Park where Mr. Slave gets mad at Mr(s). Garrison for having gender-reassignment surgery?
Based on the way she looks/dresses I always assumed she identified as a 12 year old boy. Is that not correct?
She had to change. Her forehead and hairline held her hostage
I think my balls just turned into acorns. Damn squirrels don’t know I also have guns. Hehe. Crazy crazy times. Worlds gone nuts, good for the squirrels though. Jesus.
Since at least the 14th century, they (including derivatives and inflected forms, such as them, their, theirs, themselves, and themself) has been used, with varying degrees of general acceptance, to refer to a singular antecedent.[37] This usage is often called the singular they. Today, it is unexceptional and often not regarded as incorrect, especially in informal language.[37][38]
They may be used even when the gender of the subject is obvious; they implies a generic (or representative of type class) rather than individuated interpretation:[41]
- I say to each person in this room: may they enjoy themselves tonight!
- Anyone who arrives at the door can let themself in using this key.
- "If a person is born of a ... gloomy temper ... they cannot help it."— Chesterfield, Letter to his son (1759)[39]

- 'Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech — Shakespeare, Hamlet
- There's not a man I meet but doth salute me / As if I were their well-acquainted friend — Shakespeare, Comedy of Errors
- If some guy beat me up, then I'd leave them.
- Every bride hopes that their wedding day will go as planned.
Not a he unless you can write your yellow name in the snow.
With punctuation marks. And fluidity (no pun intended).
