Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page, the Oscar-nominated star of Juno and Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, announced in an essay Tuesday that he is transgender.
The actor wrote, “To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse and the threat of violence: I see you, I love you and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better.”
“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”
