Why did they name their son Ellen?


That's kinda cruel of the parents.

I don't understand why they deliberately went out of their way to make Ellen look like a boy. What was the point?

reply

It was a girl. So the question changes to why did they groom and dress their daughter to look like a boy?

I just saw this movie for the first time since the 80s. Back then, I thought it was a little boy until they called her “Ellen”. The short hair and boy clothes bothered me then and still bothers me today. Not sure what the point of that was.

It was probably the girl's own choice. We used to call them "tomboys", and they usually grew up to be normal women. Now the public schools and social media guide them into transgenderism.
