The simpler explanation is that as a girl growing up famous and wealthy as an actress, she’s always been an emotionally unhinged attention whore. This is just her achieving her final form. It’ll make it easier to get future roles and higher pay as well because she’s playing the trans card now. There was that Orange is the New Black’s black guy that was trans but he isn’t very likable. Page has broader appeal I’m assuming based on the movies she’s been in.

Personally I was never a fan of Page because she’s not a very good actress and I hate emo people. She plays herself and that self isn’t something I enjoy, whereas at least with someone like Dwayne Johnson, you have him telling people to workout and try hard and succeed and shit. I don’t find Page likable and I’d have liked the series better if they killed her off. It’s also profoundly selfish of her to make the character she plays, who is not her anyway, also ‘transition’ as a public political statement. The funniest part of how the series handled it was that all she did to transition in the series was get a haircut. It’s insulting to men to suggest that all you had to do to become one was get a haircut.

There’s a character from an earlier time period in the series that meets her and acts like it’s all fine and that’s also implausible because he’s a character that’s highly conflicted over her and was from a time when people were more openly prejudiced. They’ve made Captain America parodies where he wakes up and is super racist and sexist. This would have been similar, with the character just laughing at her and asking for an explanation.

“You’re…a man? And you always have been? Like with a penis?”

“No, not with a penis. I got a haircut. It’s short now. Not manly short, but shorter.”

“How does that make you a man? Can you impregnate someone?”

“No, but you can call me Victor. I got a haircut. I’m like you now!”
