  • Elliot Page says he experienced a mixture of feelings when he came out as transgender on an Instagram post in 2021.
    “I felt utterly elated and beyond grateful to finally be in a place where I could accept and love myself and do what I needed to and wanted to,” the 37-year-old actor, director, and LGBTQ+ activist told the audience at the 2024 TIME100 Summit in New York City on Wednesday.
    After a soulful live performance by Leslie Odom Jr. and opening remarks from TIME CEO Jessica Sibley, Page sat down with TIME Contributing Editor Sam Lansky to kick off a series of panel discussions featuring the global TIME100 community.
    It’s been three years since the actor graced the cover of TIME magazine alongside his pet dog to share-in full for the first time-his journey towards publicly announcing that he is a gender non-binary transgender person.
    “That cover, which was shot by a trans man, Wynne Neilly in Toronto, and having that opportunity, it meant so much,” Page said. “It was also very overwhelming, as you can imagine,” he said, adding that he was experiencing trans joy alongside feelings of anxiety, grief and anger.

      Gender dysphoria does not disappear after transition, it gets easier, people can live, because without transition trans people generally take their own lives. Based on research it takes usually only bottom surgery to entirely eliminate gender dysphoria, we have been seeing this pattern repeatedly. This is why these people need to transition before pubert, because it increases dysphoria by damaging their body even more due to the wrong phormones flooding in. It has very little to do with happiness per se, it is not some freaking vanity, it is about rooting themselves into their own body, which takes time. This is why transition is a gradual process where the body changes constantly, it takes sometimes 7 years before the real changes can be more evident and have a bigger impact on dysphoria. It is not like one day they take cross sex hormones and next day everything is okay, lol, all of this is a process of integration and healing. When you are sick, you dont change the mind, you change the body that affects the mind.

      Transitioning into a new version of oneself is a significant undertaking. While I believe it's the right choice for him, you're correct that many people realize after transitioning that it wasn't what they truly wanted. This is just part of life and growth. For him, he likely experienced a lot of dysphoria. Realistically, getting roles as a trans actor can be incredibly challenging and was almost career suicide. He must be nervous because he's unsure how to navigate life as his new self.

      He looks EXHAUSTED! He also never makes direct eye contact with the interviewer. His gestures are pretty jerky and he always goes back to that sunken in and closed off posture. I've noticed that ALL of his interviews are this way. To be honest, this is the "happiest" I've seen him in an interview. He doesn't have as much sadness in his disposition as usual...I truly in my heart believe that he is still depressed.

    I'm not sure how to feel about this. One one hand, I'm happy that he had the courage to come out and express who he really was and be happy in his body. But on the other hand, I used to have a huge crush on Ellen even after she came out as lesbian and when he came out as trans I was pretty sad. I'm worried that this transition could effect his acting career. He's a really good actor, I really liked her in Inception and Juno. But there's not really a lot of roles that a 5'1, skinny guy can play, other than maybe a role as an elf or a magical creature, if not a transgender person.

      So your telling me 20 years in Major nominated, multi dollar movies wasn’t scrutiny. There is absolutely no joy in her body language or words. And zoom in on her eyes, they are dead. Esp at the 7:16 mark and when she talks about writing. It’s clear her soul is gone. And this new thing we see is struggling to portray a rehearsed character and it’s NOT fooling 95 percent of the viewers.
