Elliot Page has announced that he is transgender ❤
A picture of elliot page in a hat reading “Stop Alton Gas”, next to a few paragraphs of text too small & blurry to read
A series of Tweets with usernames covered up, each replying to the last.
Um… is this an error? They put up a picture of Ellen Page. Typo maybe?
Not a typo, he’s Elliot Page
I’m not sure I understand. Please explain?
I’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you’re well intentioned lol. His name used to be Ellen Page but he has come out as a trans gender man, so now his name is Elliot Page. They’re the same person
OH! Oh okay - I’m new to this. I didn’t understand what was happening. Thank you for explaining. I thought it was some new meme that I missed out on.
In that case, I’m going to join everyone else and say that I am very happy for Elliot Page. I’ve always been a huge fan of his.
There, children, see what happens when you give people the benefit of the doubt instead of brainlessly attacking them to fuel your savior complex?
This is exactly why I try to engage with the apparent trolls sometimes. 95% of the time your reading is right and you disengage shortly after but one in twenty times there’s just a confused person on the other end that needs a little helping hand 🥹❤️
It’s kinda funny that the whole Vanya - Viktor trans thing in S3 Umbrella Academy had his siblings behaving pretty similarly. The vibe was pretty wholesome. Basically “I don’t really understand it, but you’re my bro and we’re trying to save the world. On with the plot!”
Yeah, it even included a “Look, Vanya said she bla bla bla”, “you mean Viktor”, “yeah Viktor, obviously, but my point was that plot plot plot”.
yeah that feels genuine.
not the same thing but Agents of Shield had a similar way of dealing with Daisy’s name change. Coulson would sometimes slip up and call her by her old name, getting more and more used to it with time. felt real and human rather than disingenuous and robotic.
The way I found out about his transition was this:
A bit confused until I looked it up.
