| Topic | Elliot Page (Ellen Page) comes out as trans |

Not trying to be an asshole with that question Elliot Page thinking of himself as lesbian only to find out he is male is a familiar story. I remember an article a few years back about a lot of butch lesbians discovering they were men and transitioning. It was an issue in the lesbian community, especially with TERFS. Some transmen who previously were TERF lesbian feminists internalized this and believed they were either selling out women or buckling to patriarchy by identifying as men. Fortunately, TERFS are increasingly looked down on in feminism as a whole, so I imagine reaffirming their feminist identity while transitioning into a male gender would be included in the process. There are probably a lot of transmen living as butches and studs who don't feel comfortable coming out because they don't want to let go of the support they receive in the lesbian community. It's very similar to how bisexual people will identify as strictly straight or gay because they don't want to be abandoned by their community. --- "But who prays for Satan?
