So, mopey faced Ellen Page is now Elliot Page - and the BBC wastes no time in endorsing her transgender proclamation:
Elliot Page: Juno star announces he is transgender
As I have complained before, I already found her kind of annoyingly serious, and I would guess she very specifically wanted the second season of Umbrella Academy to give her character a lesbian awakening storyline. (It was, in any event, pretty well handled; and the whole season was extremely enjoyable.)
Apart from a suspicion that this will cause a further spike in unhappy teenage girls deciding their depression can be cured by deciding they are really men, my only other interest in the matter is what it means for the third season of Umbrella Academy.
Can the producers just replace her with a more likeable actress? Please.

It really does feel kind of ridiculous. Given the money for actors at that level, and the PR and branding involved, surely at the least some cynicism and a skeptical pause is necessary - as these announcements often come across more like rebranding announcements than anything else.
