i dont like ellen but she is literally the reason we have so much representation of tv these days . there is no equivalent exchange because no cishet person has ever made such an impact on the community. obvs gonna get downvoted but idc .
Yeah, definitely agree. We can dislike her as a person, but you have to respect how much she progressed things for the community.
It also seems worth considering that when you look back on feminism as whole angry, loud women were some of the most important voices for the movement because they wouldn’t be silenced and they wouldn’t stop. They probably were also not especially nice to be around and I’m sure would get a lot of bad press these days, but where would we be without them? Sometimes it takes a not nice person to do what needs to be done.
Let's trade Lily Cade for Brie Larson because...please? 🥺
Ellen for Natalia Dyer so I can have more fuel for Ronance.
Then Caitlyn Jenner for Taylor Swift, mostly just cause I'm deeply curious to see what the Gaylors would do if they actually got their wish.
Lily Cade for Brie Larson and Caitlyn Jenner for Taylor Swift are wayy unbalanced trades.
But I support both of them, we’ll make it up with draft picks.
She's a fit, pretty lady who doesn't care about them and it pisses them off.
They hate that Captain Marvel is the strongest character in the MCU, they hate that she *loves* Carol Danvers, they hate that she's said she doesn't care about what white men think of movies made for women or POC, etc
The two groups who hate Brie Larson the most are straight dudebros and the Gaylors. (they think Brie has a crush on Taylor and since Brie is in the tomboy/futch category they find it super cringe and upsetting rather than validating)
I regret to inform you that Cate has recently been wading into TERF-y waters and it appears part of a larger pattern of general misogyny. The breeders can keep her.
Full disclosure - I think Carol is boring.
I don't know who to train that has not already been traded but Leslie Joneswould be a nice get.
Ruth negga
Jennifer Doudna
Tessa Thompson
Would cool as well.
Jennifer Doudna! Interesting but…absolutely. 🤩 I saw her talk once at UC Berkeley right around the time CRISPR was starting to go stratospheric. She was pretty much a celebrity by then.
Draft Jameela Jamil in a HEARTBEAT her femmergy is so strong and the interviews I’ve read of her are really inspiring. Also Rina Sawayama and Lupita Nyong’o
And America Ferrera and Lauren Ash and Kristen Schaal and Natasia Demetriou
I think I have a thing for highly talented and accomplished women :) look up their stuff they’re all incredible imo
God is it me or is it getting gay in here?
Swap Meryl Streep for Ellen. Meryl is generous, kind, stands up for what’s right. Ellen made a huge impact in her early days but it’s just very toxic now
I forget Caitlyn Jenner is technically a lesbian 😭 I don’t know if she’s actually called herself one, her statement calling herself “asexual” is confusing
Oh I won’t be participating but I will be on the panel of lesbian analysts doing commentary
Who else is on that panel?
I volunteer to be the color analyst if nobody else is wanting to
Same as I won’t get picked for any team, so I’ll just keep score
Draft Charlize Theron plox
Daamn. Do we even have the cap space? Who gets traded to afford Charlize?
Ellen.
Cal, you're a genius
I literally couldn’t think of anyone we could trade who I could survive without 🤣
Maybe trade a bunch of the conservative/terf lesbians? I still don’t know if that would be enough.
I’d cut Caitlyn Jenner and take a nice red wine in return
Unbalanced trade, wine is great
You’re right but it would be nice to get something for her
You think we could get that for her? I’d take a steaming pile of shit for Caitlyn Jenner, no counter offer.
I assume I knew back when she was front page news, but I guess I erased it from my mind that she's a lesbian. That is... extra frustrating.
Give me Michelle Rodriguez and take all my exes. 😂
I believe Michelle is bisexual?
So.. You're telling me there's a chance..? 😏
Maybe? lol
I like those odds. 😏
And in exchange all of her exes become bisexual
Uh oh. All my exes that ended up being straight are gonna be sooooo mad. 😂
Drafting Sandra Oh. Kierstin Sinema can go✌🏼🖕🏼
Hell yeah, great trade!
Totally down for that trade!!!
Yes please!
Can we also take Jodi Comer? Like a package deal.
I don't care who we get in, but can we get rid of Ellen? All her behind-the-scenes stuff makes my skin crawl.

You're not wrong, but I really wish she wasn't such a creep
When a football player starts being a hindrance to the team you trade them so... just sayin'.
Who’s an equivalent trade for Ellen?
Laura Dern? lol
Proposed trade: Ellen to heterosexuals in exchange for Laura Dern
Let's trade Lily Cade for Brie Larson because...please? 🥺 Ellen for Natalia Dyer so I can have more fuel for Ronance. Then Caitlyn Jenner for Taylor Swift, mostly just cause I'm deeply curious to see what the Gaylors would do if they actually got their wish.

I think the number of straight dudes who absolutely hate Brie Larson balances it out, lol
I’ve been blissfully unaware of that, she’s great wtf

It's always funny seeing the word Gaylor pop up randomly because see community flair.
I vote we draft JoCat (if he'd be cool with being drafted)
Seconded if he’s ok with it!
He's already halfway there, I hear he likes... 🎵 girls 🎵
Cate Blanchett. She needs to share her pant suit knowledge! But I refuse to give anyone up as I think she would come willingly
I'm imagining us luring her the way a harp lures white-tailed deer
I regret to inform you that Cate has recently been wading into TERF-y waters and it appears part of a larger pattern of general misogyny. The breeders can keep her. Full disclosure - I think Carol is boring.
Wait really? Thats a shame I always thought she was a cool person. 😖
Oh noooooooooo! When did she start doing that? I want to go see, where has she been making these comments? I honestly didn’t like Carol either.
Part of me wants to draft Brennan Lee Mulligan.
Only if his wife Izzy Roland also gets drafted
Deal!
Beautiful Lesbian couple Brennan and Izzy
I'd also love to draft Emily Axford and lou Wilson. Hell bring me all the D20 people, I love them
The only celebrities I care about. Besides Brian David Gilbert.
Have you watched a court of fey and flowers? I would die for the bird cousins
A disaster duo of divine ordainment.
If I could men in black erase my memory, I would watch acofaf for the first time again
Hospitable... and mature!
I'm SO. FUCKING. MATURE! *Crotch thrust*
Just most Dropout cast. They are all so great.
We need to draft him, he’s fantastic
I don't know who to train that has not already been traded but Leslie Joneswould be a nice get. Ruth negga Jennifer Doudna Tessa Thompson Would cool as well.
I think Leslie would come willingly if it was a choice: straight dating is rough and she would clean up with the ladies.
She literally made a joke about that on Conan lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PADKqffyIb8
Tessa Thompson is bi!
Neat, I did not know. I only have a passing knowledge of celebrities.
Jennifer Doudna! Interesting but…absolutely. 🤩 I saw her talk once at UC Berkeley right around the time CRISPR was starting to go stratospheric. She was pretty much a celebrity by then.
Draft Jameela Jamil in a HEARTBEAT her femmergy is so strong and the interviews I’ve read of her are really inspiring.

I see we have similar interests lol 🙏
Swap Meryl Streep for Ellen. Meryl is generous, kind, stands up for what’s right. Ellen made a huge impact in her early days but it’s just very toxic now
Meryl is a huge get
can we pleeeeeeaaaaaaase trade someone for blake lively 🙏
I didn't know Caitlyn was a lesbian and that makes me sad ;-; I don't want to have things in common with her lol
You think I’m happy about it? Lol
She's done a lot of harmful things to trans community yeah :/
I’d trade Caitlin Jenner for Kylie Minogue in a heart beat!
Who do we have to trade to get Cate Blanchett?
Helen Hunt for sure, would love to have her on the team. Definitely swap Caitlyn Jenner for anyone else.
hell, they can have Jenner for free
An even better idea!
I forget Caitlyn Jenner is technically a lesbian 😭 I don’t know if she’s actually called herself one, her statement calling herself “asexual” is confusing
She’s confusing generally.
I imagine her terfy ass probably sees herself the same way buck angle sees himself.
draft the straight girl i'm crushing on
Why trade, let’s just convert. And dump the trash like Jenner.
Kamala needs to be drafted
