I think this is a desperate attempt to escape the reality of being a post-wall woman in hollywood. She even admits in her book, she was fine with being a pretty girl, but couldn't cope with the idea of aging as a woman. Most of her performances have been mid to slightly above average and I think she coasted on her petite tomboy look for a long time. Specially because it let her play younger characters, like in Hard Candy.
I don't get the whole "she was too ugly/old to get work" excuse, you got actresses like Krys Marshall who are total uggos and she still gets parts, and BTW that actress is younger than her while actually looking older. Ellen could've easily moved into other types of characters like
'middle age tough cop lady' or playing a female politician or a teacher or whatever, she didn't have to be the teen girl/tomboy character forever.
Also lets be honest for once, she was never hot, alright? lots of millennial nerds got a thing for her because of Juno but even in that movie she looked just average. Even at what most consider her prime which is playing Kitty Pryde in X-men she was just cute, but not hot.

That was as good as she got looks-wise, she was around 20. Again she was not even close to the hottest young actresses of the 2000s, even Lindsay Lohan was hotter. So she being scared of aging sounds kind of ridiculous since she was never only valued for her looks like say Megan Fox, she could've moved on into doing those other kinds of characters..........except maybe she always wanted to be the "IT girl" all the boys want? consider how many trannies are failed men that couldn't attract women and many pooners are girls who weren't hot enough to be popular, maybe Ellen thought that since she couldn't be the hot girl she could be the hot guy?
i think she might be a true believer in the cult.
Given that Ellen went all-in into the SJW-now-woke "ideology" even earlier than most other millennials did its no surprise she then moved on into gender politics. In those spaces there's a never ending competition to see who is the wokest and comes up with the wokest new shit to talk about. Its like keeping up with the joneses but of retarded social ideas.
I don't think there were any handlers, I think she fully embraces the gender ideology and decided to poon-out on her own.
She's getting that pink hue already...
That's why all these troons are perfectly fine looking the way they are
Yeah no they all look like ghouls.
Ellen probably fantasized that with cash, surgery, and hormones, she'd troonsform into a mini Brad Pitt or at least a Justin Beiber
The irony is that Beiber would've it much easier going MtF than Ellen did going FtM, specially when he was young and already looked like a girl.
The biggest shame of it all is that she’ll never be remembered as who she was.
Nah she will, much like all boomers know the girl from The Carpenters who died young millennials will remember Ellen and it might as well be as if she also died young since they wont remember anything about her after she decided to poon-out.
She clearly doesn’t want to be like this and there.
Most trannies/pooners don't, it used to be psychologist wouldn't let their patients transition because once they did most killed themselves because of the results. That's because trannies think they'll be a beatiful supermodel and not a ghoul in drag, and pooners think they'll be early 90's Brad Pitt and not a skinnyfat manlet with a receding hairline. So went they go ahead with the procedure and end like that sooner or later they commit sudoku.
Too bad the gay lobby forced psychologists to play along "or else".
i have to agree with you, she is in the prime spot to be the Hollywood detransitioner
Nah that boat sailed long ago, she went almost all the way and is only missing the rotdog. She got the zippertits, the implants, and the shitty skin. Those characters I mentioned above? gone, she's too androgynous and weird looking for those, not a woman and not a man either.
Like gay or not, dudes still want an allusion that a tiny, dainty lesbian will maybe touch their rancid dicks in their dreams.
No I don't dream about some tiny ugly bulldyke getting anywhere near me let alone my penis and neither do 99.99% of dudes.
Literally #shitradfemsbelieve...
