“I feel lucky to be able to tell you. To be here. To have reached this point in my life,” she said. Elliot then expressed his “extreme gratitude to the people who supported him on this journey. I cannot begin to express how extraordinary it is to finally love who I am.”

Married for two years to the dancer and choreographer Emma porterand starring in movies with “Inception” and “X-Men: Days of Future Past” and most recently on Netflix’s “Umbrella Academy,” Page admitted he was scared at the prospect of his second outing. much more difficult than the first because of the “hatred, jokes and violence” to which trans people are subjected.

He then thanked the trans community for “the courage and tireless work to make the world a more inclusive and compassionate place,” while attacking political leaders who “work to criminalize health care for trans people”: people – he added – that “he has blood on his hands.”

Before today’s announcement, Page was one of the most prominent gay actresses in Hollywood. The gender transition announcement admits Elliot to a small trans star club that includes Laverne Cox, Trace Lysette, Brian Michael Smith and “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway.
