Page made it very clear from the beginning that ‘I am trans, pronouns are he/they and my name’s Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To have arrived to this place in my life. I feel gratitude for the incredible people who’ve supported me throughout this journey. I cannot even begin to express how it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self.’
‘I’ve been endlessly inspired by many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and more compassionate place. I’ll offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society,’ he wrote.
The post was followed by a lot of positive messages of love and support from both fans and fellow actors who are applauding Page for his bravery.
