Elliot Page wants to advocate for other transgender people. “My privilege has allowed me to have resources to get through and to be where I am today, and of course I want to use that privilege and platform to help in the ways I can.' - NBCOUT

The actor told Time magazine that he wanted to use his "privilege and platform to help in the ways I can."After asking for patience late last year when he announced that he is transgender and non-binary, Oscar-nominated actoris speaking out on what it’s like to be one of the most visible trans people in the world.

But he told Time that he felt a deep sense of responsibility to share his truth. “Extremely influential people are spreading these myths and damaging rhetoric — every day you’re seeing our existence debated. Transgender people are so very real,” he said. The actor, who stars in Netflix's"The Umbrella Academy," said that downtime during quarantine helped him accept his gender identity.

“I had a lot of time on my own to really focus on things that I think, in so many ways, unconsciously, I was avoiding. … I was finally able to embrace being transgender and letting myself fully become who I am,” he told the magazine. Page filed for divorce from his wife, Emma Portner, in January. The pair had announced their marriage in 2018."I am so proud of @elliotpage," Portner wrote on Instagram."Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world. I also ask for patience & privacy but that you join me in the fervent support of trans life every single day.”Jamie Knodel

NBCOUT Its sad that white people have to practically neuter themselves to display the most basic forms of empathy like this, or 'Chelsea' Manning. Only reason the Media doesn't talk about Manning is because he regretted his surgery.

NBCOUT 'I'm fully..What?!'

NBCOUT Most cisgender people including me can't fully fathom how painful it is to be invisible, trapped within a body that doesn't feel like yours and to have to hide who you are every second of the day. Transitioning even in a supportive environment is tough. More power to you Elliot

NBCOUT TIME 💚

NBCOUT Complete with the neo-cultist jargon and pushed by a dishonest, captured and outdated media.

NBCOUT WooHoo grow a cock.

NBCOUT Wo Man that's tits

NBCOUT Electoral fraud in the United States and a fraudulent president have reduced US power in the world!

NBCOUT The fight for an irreversible top surgery?

NBCOUT Thank you TheElliotPage! TransIsBeautiful

NBCOUT Mental illness should never be stigmatized. All people deserve to be treated with dignity.

NBCOUT pRiViLeGe...ppl who were handed things based on luck really want to say they’re privileged while ppl of the same race live day to day trying to make it. Privilege is made up by successful ppl and it’s nonsense.

NBCOUT That kid needs some help. Obviously suffering from mental health issues.

NBCOUT An inversion of reality that we’re not even allowed to criticize anymore. Truly sick!

NBCOUT Can we emphasize for the people who need to understand something: after the biological age of mating in the human masculine and human feminine, there are new cultures kids are exposed to. That is why Junior High starts after 7th grade, separate schools everywhere in USA I know of

NBCOUT It’s everyday, you can try to convince yourselves and everyone else, but this is just ridiculous.

NBCOUT A friendly reminder that misgendering someone violates Twitter’s TOS and should be reported :)
