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.

“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.
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.
Nick Adams, GLAAD’s Director of Transgender Media, said “Elliot Page has given us fantastic characters on-screen, and has been an outspoken advocate for all LGBTQ people. He will now be an inspiration to countless trans and non-binary people. All transgender people deserve the chance to be ourselves and to be accepted for who we are. We celebrate the remarkable Elliot Page today.”
Page broke out from his native Canada in 2005 with the revenge thriller “Hard Candy.” Two years later, he starred in Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s landmark indie “Juno,” for which Page received an Academy Award nomination among other accolades.
HIs notable roles include Kitty Pryde in the “X-Men” series, Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” “Whip It!” and Sony’s reboot of “Flatliners.” He has produced and starred in films such as “Tallulah” and “Freeheld,” and last year marked his directorial debut examining environmental racism faced by people of color and the First Nations communities of Canada.
Prior to transition, Page was one of the most visible out gay actors in Hollywood. The Tuesday announcement further enriches his legacy, and adds him to a small but growing number of out trans creators and stars in Hollywood. This includes performers (Laverne Cox, Trace Lysette, Brian Michael Smith) and creators (The Wachowski Sisters, “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway).
Last year, Variety broke the news of the groundbreaking overall content production deal that Netflix signed with Janet Mock, a noted trans storyteller and director of shows like “Pose” and “Hollywood.”

If that Akira remake ever gets off the ground, they're a shoo-in.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

What happend to her career?

Hollywood.

 

[NoReturn]

Wasn't she like 5'1? Who is she going to play now, a hobbit in a new lotr adaptation?

Hobbits are supposed to be proportional and sturdy. Page is just a small stick at this point.

Ah truly the face of someone who has in no way made a huge life altering mistake and is completely happy with their irreversible decision.

 

[Trianon]

She was like a little Jodie Foster in Juno. Could have had the same career trajectory, including a very private private life.

It's striking that her fame is what brought on the panic attacks. You don't need to become a man, you need to get out of Hollywood. I wonder why that was never an option.

Well, Sméagol was once a Hobbit and became a small stick creature after the ring’s corruption...

Excellent point.

Further, Ellen can retreat to Canada or nearly anywhere else outside of LA to live a life of relative solitude with her Hollywood earnings; she is reportedly worth $12 million. If she can't bear to wear women's clothing or do the bare minimum required to elicit verisimilitude in her acting roles, she should just quit--unless perhaps in this current backwards hellscape, roles will be expected to conform to the actors instead of vice versa.

Her need for attention is pathological at this point; she seems to get off on being a joyless woke scold more than anything.

 

[NoReturn]

When I see you all at Nuremberg I'm blaming @naaaaiiiiillllll!!! for this.

 

[Michael Wade]

It's really sad what happened to her. I was never a huge fan, but I kinda liked it whenever I saw her in games and movies.

 

[Plague Dog]

As a lady, I agree. Being conservative balances your natural tendency to empathize and helps you recognize that people can play your empathy for their own ends. Don't look to the world or the government, look to your backyard, try to deal with that, and then maybe, maybe, you will have the experience to think about world events without having a breakdown.

That's why Jordan Peterson's "clean your room" works for young men. It goes against the feminized political landscape and makes it about being proud of themselves and defending their little corner. Women need a similar thing, like, "The wolf wearing your grandma's clothes is not your fucking grandma, and you don't have to help her."

I'm a big fan of "Put on your own oxygen mask before trying to assist those around you." But the internet prefers "Don't set yourself on fire just to keep others warm."

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Because despite how much these people sperg about privileges, they NEVER give up their own. If she was really that much anxious about whatever was happening to her, she could have just taken all her Juno, X-Men, and Inception money and never worry again about cash ever. Instead, she wanted to be part of it, either because she liked the money, the attention, or the idea that she was going to "change the world" through her career.

 

[Dom Cruise]

I won't go too far off-topic, but I do agree with the bits about the internet, 9/11, @Garm's comments, and the general discussion of the effects the boomers has as parents. I'm not trying to say "It's da boomers!" but it kind of is da Boomers. Your parents were not the norm, and I think you were better off for it.
Bringing it back to the topic at hand, what do we know about Page's family situation?

I'm very thankful for it, I very easily could have wound up like others of my generation.

Kanedaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

I remember watching Juno in high school and thinking she would be an A-lister. What happend to her career?

Aw, this reminds me how cute she was circa Juno, a sad fate.

 

[Positron]

See Ellen Page, see a "man" overwhelmed with joy.

I need my horrifying stickers. This looks like a chemo patient wanting to stop treatment and just embrace death.

In this moment, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony chromosome's existence. But because, I am transformed by a plastic surgeon.

I've always wondered about a couple of hypothecial situations when it comes to FtM types:

1). You and your bro Elliot are out crushing brews and talking about hotrods and scoping out chicks. After a while you're both pretty blitzed so you decide to head home. As you are leaving the bar Elliot starts getting really argumentative about hockey or moose or whatever it is that Candians get worked up about. You try to calm them down but they are having none of it and they start shoving you.

The shoving gets move aggressive and El-Dawg lands a couple of fairly tame punches on you but still won't stop. Out of frustration more than anything else you take a swing back. It is the most perfect punch a man has ever thrown. It connects with the side of their head and they hit the ground before it even registers with them. Hell, maybe it doesn't even get to that and you just sort of wrestle with them to try to get them to calm down because you don't want to strike your good friend but regardless you hear the tell-tale snap of something breaking during the tussle.

The entire street falls silent as the collective attention of the other departing patrons and passers-by falls on the scene you have created. You stand about the crumpled body of an obviously female figure, someone that you have more than a foot in height on as well as nearly 100lbs of an advantage over. The silence is pierced by the rising wail of what is unmistakably a woman crying out in pain.

The police are called and neither you explanation of events nor the CCTV footage showing former Hollywood actress Ellen Page attacking you first are enough to make people think you are anything other than a colossal piece of shit for hitting/injuring a tiny woman.

2). The same night out happens but Elliot seems in a somewhat sombre mood and they eventually spit it out that they have been feeling a bit lonely recently, having only just moved to town. You commiserate with them, everyone has been the new guy at some stage in their life. The two of you talk into the small hours of the morning until it's finally kicking out time and you decided to get an Uber home. Elliot suggests you crash at their place because it's closer and you can share more war stories over breakfast the next morning. You agree and it's off into the night with the pair of you.

You get to their apartment and you're sitting on the couch which you presume will be your bed when elliot offers to get you another beer as a nightcap. "Why the hell not?" you say as they make their way into the kitchen, presumably to the fridge. You close you eyes and zone out for a few seconds but you snap to again when you sense that your pal is standing right in front of you. They seem to have forgotten the beer but they are instead completely nude.

Now, you knew about the whole FtM thing but just kind of never really broached the subject in depth. What's standing in front of you is an unmistakably female body that is quite attractive and petite by you standards. you can see the faint scars of the top surgery but otherwise it looks no different than that flat chested girl you were banging during Junior year in college. Well, one thing leads to another and you wake up in bed with your buddy the following morning. There's no awkwardness about the situation and you even get another round in before you head out to breakfast and everything is cool as a breeze between you.

You meet up as normal a few more times over the next fortnight and the topic is never brought up again and there is no real change in your friendship. Just a couple of guys hanging out.

Then one night you suggest you head out for beer and wings to watch the game. Elliot seems weird on the phone and suggests going for a coffee instead. You agree because you enjoy hanging out with your bro anyway. When you meet up the conversation is stilted and "off" to the point where you stop mid topic and ask them what's up. Elliot announces that she's pregnant and it's 100% yours. Also, she's keeping it and wants you to be involved in your childs life.

You do the right thing and tell them you will stick by them and raise the child with them. So, you are now the proud papa of you best bros bun-in-the-oven and everyone thinks you are gay for getting a woman pregnant. Every one of your friends and family looks at you weird at social events when you show up with your very obviously pregnant girlfriend who is dressed like a 12 year old boy from the 90s and insists on being called Elliot.

A. Stop it. Get some help.

B. They were looking at you like this anyways for being best bros with a 12 year old boy from the 90's named Elliot.

If they are on T their body is going to look like a hairy disgusting mess. No straight man would fuck it, anyone who did should rightfully be considered gay.
