She was the young star in the movie "Juno". "Hard Candy" was earlier than that and actually a better movie IMO, but didn't garner as much attention. Haven't seen her in much else myself but saw her in the news every now and again. Her other movies just weren't my cup of tea.

She came out as a lesbian in early 2014. Now she comes out as transgender. But also claims to be "non-binary" and neither a woman or a man. :rolleyes:

No skin off my back and I don't have an issue with transgender folks out there. I'm just not a fan of it myself, and I think genders remain the same & now they are just making some serious changes to their lifestyles.

Oscar-Nominated ‘Umbrella Academy’ Star Elliot Page Announces He Is Transgender

Elliot Page, the Oscar-nominated star of “Juno” and Netflix’s “The Umbrella Academy,” has announced he is transgender.

Elliot, formerly known as Ellen Page, addressed his social media followers saying:

“Hi friends, 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. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. I’ve been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society,” he wrote.

“I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better,” Page continued.

Page uses both he/him and they/them pronouns, and describes himself as transgender and non-binary, meaning that their gender identity is neither man nor woman.

Nick Adams, GLAAD’s Director of Transgender Media, said “Elliot Page has given us fantastic characters on-screen, and has been an outspoken advocate for all LGBTQ people. He will now be an inspiration to countless trans and non-binary people. All transgender people deserve the chance to be ourselves and to be accepted for who we are. We celebrate the remarkable Elliot Page today.”

Page broke out from his native Canada in 2005 with the revenge thriller “Hard Candy.” Two years later, he starred in Jason Reitman and Diablo Cody’s landmark indie “Juno,” for which Page received an Academy Award nomination among other accolades.

His notable roles include Kitty Pryde in the “X-Men” series, Christopher Nolan’s “Inception,” “Whip It!” and Sony’s reboot of “Flatliners.” He has produced and starred in films such as “Tallulah” and “Freeheld,” and last year marked his directorial debut examining environmental racism faced by people of color and the First Nations communities of Canada.

Prior to transition, Page was one of the most visible out gay actors in Hollywood. The Tuesday announcement further enriches his legacy, and adds him to a small but growing number of out trans creators and stars in Hollywood. This includes performers (Laverne Cox, Trace Lysette, Brian Michael Smith) and creators (The Wachowski Sisters, “Transparent” creator Joey Soloway).

Last year, Variety broke the news of the groundbreaking overall content production deal that Netflix signed with Janet Mock, a noted trans storyteller and director of shows like “Pose” and “Hollywood.”

...Page uses both he/him and they/them pronouns, and describes himself as transgender and non-binary, ...
I am sorry but chromosomes tell a different story. Just sayin

That's what I'm saying. She's a lesbian, and lesbians are women into other women.

Then she's transgender and changes her name from Ellen to Elliot Page. So she identifies with a different gender than she was assigned at birth. One would think this is of the male gender, knowing she now wants to be called Elliot. Wants to use "he/they". Well, at least the he portion points to male and would go along with the new name. But then I read that she prefers "he/him and they/them". He and him pointing to male and Elliot. And they and them is weirdly sounding like 3rd person. But then says she is "transgender and non-binary, meaning that their gender identity is neither man nor woman". So, now adds in "their", and even though she went from Juno as a female, and now to Elliot and "he/him" as a male - that she is neither man or woman.

She has officially confused the fuck out of me! Damn, and that's just a few too. And then there were something like "57 genders" suddenly.

Not anymore!! That was so 2016, now it's 112!! :wtf99:
