Umbrella Academy

Now that Ellen Page is officially Elliot Page, I wonder if they're going to have to rewrite the character. What with the entertainment industry becoming so politicised, it wouldn't seem right for a trans-man to play a female character, would it?
 
I don't care that he's identified as a trans man. What's annoying is a wall of text filled with self-praise and attention-seeking.

You must really have not much to do in your life if this is what you take your time doing...

Wtf is a Latinx?

A gender-neutral term for people from Latin America or of Latin American descent. It doesn't have much traction though within the very communities it was created to represent.

About One-in-Four U.S. Hispanics Have Heard of Latinx, but Just 3% Use It

In the above research, 61% of polled Latinos and Hispanics said they would prefer to be called Hispanics.

It very much seems to be a word most likely to be used by an offended/woke white person in an attempt to score social media points.

Ok but is whoever created this term aware that Spanish, which many Latinos/Hispanics speak, is a very gendered language?

That's entirely fine, as long it isn't a man playing a woman. Then the hypocrisy kicks in. And Netflix have already said they'll work around this development.

Considering how she/he dressed in hard candy and the roles she/he has taken it was a given that she/he was messed up, long before.
