I undoubtedly believe myself transitioning. Myself do not find behaving really empowering. In Grey’s Anatomy Ellen is married to Derek Shepard but also known as the actor Patrick Dempsey. Ellen says recoding for Greys anatomy is actually gross here’s what she says: “It’s gross. We use real brains. I think they’re lamb or cow or something. INtestines smell. Brains don’t really smell, but what’s amazing about the brain is that it’s almost like scrambled eggs or soft tofu almost like a gel. The brain controls so much of what we do but you could put your finger right through it.” Ellen inspires so much everyday, it makes me want to become an actress one day and she’s so brave and courageous. Over all I think Ellen is a great person for little kids to look up to and makes me re-consider actors.
