Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of “Juno” and Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy,” has announced he is transgender. Elliot, formerly known as Ellen Page, addressed his social media followers saying:

“Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. I’ve been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society,” he wrote.


quote:

“I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better,” Page continued.


quote:

Page uses both he/him and they/them pronouns, and describes himself as transgender and non-binary, meaning that his gender identity is neither man nor woman.

The attention faded after coming out as gay?

I hate to say “that’s brave of him” because I don’t want it to sound condescending, but goddamn, to be a celebrity and open up on the most private secret in your life and to do it publicly, takes some serious fortitude.

I don’t think I could weather the sheer amount of negativity thrown my way from cruel people. I’m incredibly lucky to have a ton of support and I’m just a nobody in the PNW; the worst comments I endure are pretty limited to TD. I can’t imagine what Elliot will endure.

Edit: downvote away!

Watching her mental decline over the last decade has been tragic to say the least. I remember when I first saw her in X-3 and thinking how attractive she was. IF she goes all the way and starts injecting herself with hormone shots, I will do my best to remember her as Kitty Pride and not the ugly monstrosity she will have become.

shut up queer.

She'll be praised and make more money now b/c of it more than likely. You got it arse backwards b/c we live in an arse backwards world now. It's the new normal, so being a normal guy in the past, isn't normal anymore, so get out of here with your backwards thinking.


and she can call herself whatever she wants, she's a woman, and will always be a woman.

That’s like the opposite of reality.

She’s going to be showered with adoration from every person in every circle she travels.

So ole Elliot plays make-believe for a living, and now wants everyone to play make believe with him in all aspects of his life, only the rest of us don't get paid?

Mental illness in the public arena is cringey.

Don’t worry about it. I’m used to it in these parts. I’d expect it more from the Poli/Election board than the M/TV board.
