The “Umbrella Academy” actor (33) reveals that he has changed his name to Elliot Page. The Canadian does it on Twitter.
“I want to share with you that I am trans, and my pronoun is he / she and my name is Elliot,” the star writes to her 1.5 million followers.
Thanks for the support
Page has written a longer post, where he says he feels lucky to be able to write about his orientation and that he has reached that place in life.
That’s why the superstar is in Oslo
“I feel overwhelming gratitude for the wonderful people who have supported me on this journey. I can’t begin to express how amazing it feels to finally love myself enough to pursue my authentic self,” the 28-year-old writes.
Also, the actor asks for patience. Page writes that, in addition to being happy to be able to tell his story, he also fears the hatred that awaits him and the jokes and violence to which he may be exposed.
Page also takes the opportunity to count the statistics of discrimination against transgender people and points out that so far this year 40 transgender people have been murdered.

“I love that I’m trans”
Here the actor arrives with a direct appeal to political leaders who work to criminalize health services for transgender people.
Page also makes it clear that she will fight for transgender rights in the future.
“I love that I am trans. I love that I’m a fag. And the more I believe in myself and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I prosper. To all trans people who face harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and threats of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do my best to change this world for the better, “Page writes in conclusion.
The letter is signed Elliot, which is his new name.
Being transgender means that you do not identify with your biological gender. Some feel like a man or a woman, while others may feel like a middle ground, while others do not identify with either sex.
One night, Tobías (9) asked his mother: “Can I be a girl?”
Some transgender people are also transsexual, which means that they want to transform into the opposite sex.
However, being trans has nothing to do with orientation, but with one’s own gender-related identity.
Married in 2018
Page has been married to Emma Portner (26) since 2018. In March, the two shared photos of them visiting Oslo, in connection with Portner’s ballet production at the Opera.
The wife has written on Instagram that she is very proud of her lover.
“Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world. I also ask for your patience and privacy, but to join me in fervently supporting trans life every day. Elliot’s existence is a gift in itself. With the skin, sweet E. I love you very much, “he writes.
