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.”

Why is she even bothering? Trans shit has become so mundane I can't imagine much of a career boost out of this desperate 'pay attention to me' move.

Pretty much why I said I don't get why these guys are so smug and antagonistic towards normal people.

See how quickly the Homos lost their media darling status to the troonfad.

In the 90s and 2000s saying you were gay/bi was how washed up celebrities got attention now it's troon shit.

Do they think they too won't be replaced once gender shit stops being trendy?

"So...she wants to be a white male, the single most hated, humiliated and targeted group in America?

She really IS nuts."

Note : This was a comment I saw somewhere else regarding this piece of news that I thought I would share.

That's assuming she goes the straight dude route and not the vastly more common he/they nonbinary genderspecial pansexual sparkly whatever route. Seriously, girls who troon out almost never identify as just straight men.

Lots of those girls also still present entirely as female i.e. long hair, makeup, cleavage, etc. Hell a lot of the time they're girlier than women who are comfortable identifying as such.

Sometimes they'll get a short (but still feminine) haircut and bind or chop off their tits, even go on T for a short time, but even then they still don't look like men and I doubt they want to.

Spoiler: 40 something percent

At least Brett Ratner will be interested in working with her again.

Sounds like a weird self-inflicted form of the foot binding shit in China, or the titty ironing in Africa. Then again, women are always the biggest misogynists.

Any woman who wants to participate in this idiocy should be made to listen to Buck Angel talk for an hour about the agony of vaginal atrophy first.

...wait, what!?

 

[Sage In All Fields]

This stuff just makes me depressed and makes me consider just unplugging from the internet almost entirely. I'm already working on moving to the middle of nowhere to get away from this stuff.

...wait, what!?

Buck Angel is a woman who identifies as a man. She has never had bottom surgery (a very good idea, as it is pure butchery for both sexes) but decades of taking high doses of testosterone have caused her to have an extreme case of vaginal atrophy, where the vulva and vagina basically dry up and wither and become hard and painful. You can google, it's pretty bad. Buck is very vocal about how no one knew how cross-sex hormones would affect trans-identifying patients as they age, and now that evidence is becoming available (it's harmful, duh), that evidence is being ignored.

Jesus if she actually starts taking T, Aiden is definitely gonna look like the coomer meme

Also, they develop WAY higher chances of developing cancer. Who would have thought fucking with your endocrine system would have consequences?

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature.

 

[KweenKarlotta]

I feel the same way. Ellen Page was always some I could point to as an example for younger lesbians for "Look. Woman. No trans." Who's left?

I honestly pegged her as a potential undercover terf so this was disappointing on several levels.

Internalized misogyny is absolutely a huge thing fueling this. I mean, being a girl means getting harassed by creepy dudes from roughly late elementary school (the time most girls start growing boobs) onwards even in progressive countries, you are often bullied by other girls for all kinds of shit, if you're straight there are still people that think you're a disgusting skank if you have more of a sex life than a nun, as well as people that think you are a baby oven instead of a person, getting sterilized can be difficult or impossible, and tons of other bullshit. Having experienced it firsthand, I can't say I'm surprised that so many girls view there being greener pastures on the other side of the gender bridge.

And yeah women themselves are often nasty misogynistic, especially nerdy and woke women (though no one wants to talk about that fact).

i was going to post this earlier but the site was shitting itself and i forgot so i hope no one else did this already.


imagine being trans and having your most famous role being one where you get pregnant.

 

[Dysnomia]

How is he "queer" if he's a totes really real dude named Elliot now, and he's having sex with a female?

How does queerness factor into the equation of a dude having sex with a chick?

If we're supposed to except that Elliot is a genuine man now, then having sex with a female makes him a wealthy white hetorsexual male AKA Satan incarnate.

We are past the point where trans people just want to be seen as their chosen gender. It's now all about being trans. The fact that by their logic she really should be considered straight and therefore not queer does not compute to them. They can't/won't see that a transman with a female partner is still a lesbian. Especially when that couple was together for a long time. But I guess if we call Ellen straight now we will be accused of transphobia for some reason.

I hate the current year.

It's already getting to that point, at least in woke/nerd/etc circles. "Woman" either means a strict 50s housewife stereotype or someone born with a penis, anything outside of that (like a vast majority of women in existence) is some flavor of trans or NB. Tomboy? No, you're actually a trans man. Lesbian? Same thing. Straight weeb girl? Totally actually a kawaii nb pastel uke soft transboi in a gay relationship with her (straight, cis)boyfriend.

I'm probably one of the more pro-trans Kiwis out there in that I do think there are some legit trans people out there i.e. people who have dysphoria. However in Current Year I think most people hopping on the trans bandwagon probably aren't and the pressure being put on girls and women to transition is pretty concerning.

Identity politics do woke it's actively misogynistic

But being cishet is sooooo boring! Most of human society has been that way since the dawn of man. That's like soooooo old fashioned and played out!

Words that relate to femininity and female reproduction keep getting turned into more inclusive ones. AFAB. menstruator, pregnant person, chest feeding, natal parent, front hole ect...

We can't risk offending a small portion of the population by accommodating real women in any way. Never mind that these confusing terms are difficult for the older generation and people whose primary language isn't English.

Congratulations! You are a pregnant person! The baby will be coming out of your front hole on July 9th. Are you considering chest feeding?

I think it's very damaging to herd young lesbians and tom boys into becoming trans just because it's trendy and gets you brownie points. The criteria seems to be if you even like the slightest almost sorta masculine thing you are a transboi uwu. I find it horrifying. I played with Transformers a lot as a kid and had very short hair between 11 and 13. Thank the gods I was not born in a current year.

Meh gender shit will eventually lose it's luster and be replaced by some new trend in the next two decades I feel.

Hence why trans regret is a thing and these places are starting to get the shit sued out of them. Sadly like other harmful fads nothing will be learned.

Doubt she cares and is just doing this for attention.

I honestly pegged her

Please no.
