Elliot Page on Coming Out as Trans and Finding Hope
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 май 2024
- 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.

This person seems sad to me. I hope they’re doing ok.
She
She is*
She is definitely sad. Seems miserable
Not buying it
Page looks sadder than before
yeah, that is really odd. Why does he look so miserable all the time. At least that is everytime I see this person.
I feel like it could be his anxiety? He's in a vulnerable position, knowing he's probably gonna be judged for everything he says or does?
@@MM-km1vl I doubt it to be honest. This was already the case when Page went by she, and it only got worse.
that's the equivalent of smile more... people don't have to put on a weird act of joy to express joy --- he's gone thru a lot but he doesn't have to be hyper happy to prove he's finally content, and peaceful, and accepting... usually trans joy is just a calmness but sure, some anxiety having to talk about it like a spokesperson so there's also that
@@chicbate and that explains why Page is looking miserable so often?
He looks depressed. The eyes don't lie.
She*
She looks depressed cos she chopped of her t***
So many hateful comments. We don't have a clue what's going on in Elliot's life, neither is it any of our business. Have some compassion people.
How is it hateful to be concerned for her? And it is our business cuz she made it our business by publicizing her transition and trying to be some representative for transitioning…it’s not a good look . She looks sick and prob won’t make it past 50
@@solmadison I'm not talking about those comments. I mean the ones that are being openly transphobic and saying stuff like "she's clearly depressed because she regrets transitioning" etc.
Ellen*
@@minotaur8426 not transphobic to point out the massive shift in her behavior after "finding herself" at a young impressionable age in Hollywood. Sorry that you're too sensitive to look at the context behind this ideology and how they remain miserable post transition regardless of how many drugs are pumped into their body and how much of themselves they chop off.
I feel sorry for her. She is lost.
Any person whose hormones are primarily dominated by estrogen and progesterone to suddenly be altered completely to be driven by testosterone- that’s not what this persons natural state is. So it’s going against the body’s nature. That will cause a lot of depression and anxiety and anger etc etc. Page can be free to do it, but hormones have a GIANT affect on everything we are. You can’t just change it and expect to be ok.
if people's comments get deleted here... it's not youtube. it's TIME. you can't say ANYthing. doesn't matter the context. context is important. but if ANY word is not of their liking, you are deleted.
This is the issue of our day..... How these ppl took the Internet and completely censored speech.... Manipulated ppls devices etc... I just hope that one day these ppl are punished...... More than even say cigarette company families.........these Internet platforms are worse
Wow, if these are the comments that don't get deleted, I'm glad I can't see the ones that were 🙄 - I wonder what coukd be causing the trans anxiety? Hmmmm.... 🤔
@@frankie3718 you don’t even know. I wrote the most personal and non hating comment. And because of a word that mentioned my own !llness. It got deleted. It had nothing to do with hate.
That’s because they’re ran by communist wannabes. They can’t allow people to express views that don’t go along with their ideology….well, they’ll delete this comment so why even bother
But they will never suppress the the truth, the pseudo-moralist sc******!!
wow so many "BoDy LaNguaGe SpeCiaLisTs" on the chat
he have the exactly same way to talk and behave as before. I had always watch his/her interviews and I see no difference. Just the voice is different and cracking a little bit
you guys are projecting your own thought on what you see. The thought is "his transition is a lie and he's sadder than before". Well, that's all you, guys
She is sadder
@@toastymickey9644 yeah you know his life pretty well
THANK you!!! he’s got a couple of thirst traps on Instagram-top surgery scars out in the open. that’s somebody comfortable in their own skin
You are in complete denial. Either that or you were born yesterday
u see no difference? Ur no body language expert and ur eyes pretty don’t work too well
Body language radiates pain and insecurity. Tension abound. Rod straight spine, shoulder girdle collapsed, hands grasping protectively when they’re not upturned in Believe Me gestures. Eyes downcast. You could almost mistake it for guilt
Literally. This is very sad to watch.
Absolutely.
I don't think it's guilt. I think it's regret. So sad.
Perhaps it's a painful and more than not likely an isolating exprience to be at all visible as tran when you were spending so much paniced effort in hidding it for decades... it can't be easy to let people witness your vunerablity
@@Passageofsky so a professional actress can’t manage to come off as happy or secure because it’s too painful and hard to be so “visible” despite the visibility being something they’ve willingly opted into, for money? Not buying it.
This makes me very sad. We are watching an excellent actor desperately struggling to act happy.
totally a man and not a depressed lesbian
yes, he is a man. stop it with the bigotry.
@@cheesepuff65No. She isn't. Stop being a baby.
@@jeremyallen5974 i'm not being a baby because i care about people. keep your playground insults to your playground.
Totally not a sad and pathetic preson that has to disrespect and put down other in order to feel good about themselves.
@@teranelson826 it makes me really sad to see ppl supporting women hacking up their bodies, still clearly look like women then be gaslight by society that they are really whatever they say they are. barbaric.
Its easier to fool some people, than it is to convince them that they have been fooled.
Well this is depressing to see. A healthy body has been destroyed. They look so unhealthy now. So sad.
She looks
@@benjaminfranklin8412 Yeah, I avoided the obvious she pronouns because I didn't want my comment to get deleted. TIME censors people.
She is an actor. She knows how to talk on camera. The person sitting there now behaves so differently and looks down when speaking. Something is so off.
it's called depression. she destroyed her body and her life is over now.
It is genuinely heartbreaking reading all those transphobic replies. Under every thoughtful comment there's *she's, *her's, deadnaming etc. So sad...
in all truth ellens career is over now, wont ever get another role. just the truth.
No please stop 🛑 🤦 this is a terror
He’s just like me! 💛 it’s amazing to see someone power through all these difficult questions with such grace and strength. I remember when he first came out, it was like a ray of hope to me. It still is and I’m still so grateful to live in the same world at the same time. Power on my dude 💪
Hormones effect cognition, slowing the thought process in some, & knowing how any statement can be used against someone, I believe Page is simply being thoughtful about answering!
Page is quite articulate here!
I've noticed a change in skin tone, along with dark rings under the eyes etc, unfortunately that goes with the territory!
Remember folks, this is Pages puberty years in terms of transition!
Any parents of teens out there would remember transition from male child to teen male..
Comparing Pages complexion before transition to now is not helpful. Female hormones soften a face, as in male to female, and hardens a face as in female to male transition..
Pages body language suggests a little lack of confidence, but, realistically, Page knows a lot of eyes would be searching for 'signs', which is entirely the case as evidenced by this comment section!
I felt the interview went well. The answers Page gave were thoughtful & well articulated insights into where Page is currently at..
Page may need a little coaching on physical presentation, ie: posture etc.. but, hey, overall i thought it was a very informative interview!
That “I’m so full of hope” said it all. This is a sad 5’1 ‘boy’ that did this to herself for nothing but misery. She is the reflection of trans joy. Let this be a lesson for all
If I had a friend who looked this depressed I would be worried. I hope he is o.k
She
@@benjaminfranklin8412 It doesn't take a lot of effort for me to be nice. Yeah, biological female but a trans man (biological female who identifies as a man)

What the hell is wrong with him? You can hear him still suffering, sad and feeling sorry for himself when now he should be happy about his transition.
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.
What wrong with “him” is that he is a her and she is living with the emotional fallout of the reality that it’s immutable
There's nothing wrong with him, he's experiencing violent discrimination on the daily in a world where people are so entitled they think they know what's best for a complete stranger. In a world where people assume a trans person's brain is the body part there is something wrong with, while being completely unable to realize it's other parts of a body which are wrong.
Your unnessecarily hostile, ignorant and judgemental comment is the crux of what is wrong, and it's nothing wrong with him. It's how he is being treated that's making him miserable. He's been through a lot.
@@10010x0x0x01101XX0X1 if you use the correct pronoun for "it" TIME will delete your comment shockingly quick. Needless to say you're absolutely correct but this concession in calling it a "he" is almost solely to avoid to censorship.
why is this pushed its so wrong im sorry but if i feel like im a black man as a white man i cant switch thats just life sadly
Welcome to the land of make believe.
yeah. where you transphobes wanna choose a gender for someone.
Thank you for defending the truth and speaking out against this insanity.
So sad. I am still waiting for someone to name three trans people who are in a healthy relationship, happy, not in counseling, taking medication for depression or have mental health issues. Just three please.
Blaire White, Jamie Raines, Sam Collins.
@@user-yy5di3qg5u think again
By definition we all take medicine.
@@DorianPaige00 Hmmm. How many of us take medication that have homicidal side effects? People would be shocked if they knew the side effects of the drug prescribed to those going through a transition.
Blaire White has not long made videos of his mental health issues. Jamie Raines appears to have some to. Neither of them seem as sad as the person in this video.
Smh Lord help us
love thy neighbor
Keep shaking your head. Because God doesn't exist
@MoonCarpenter explain how you were created then?
She looks like she's hurting a lot, she used to look happy before she "transitioned". Very sad story.
Absolutely bonkers, and predatory on Times part. This is a shameless snake oil sales job. Responsible parties should be going to jail. Can anybody say, Jazz?
What exactly would Times be going to jail for? They're just interviewing a celebrity 🤷🏿♀️
@@anattaokonkwo The folks in the comments here are delusional, most likely incredibly conservative and simply cannot accept a trans person. That’s why they’re all…”This is criminal! They should be in jail! Jail the Times for doing an interview!!!” 😂
Its so sad to see her like this.. any sane person can clearly see she is in despair... she is telling us one thing but her eyes show her total distress and depression .. I hope she is going to be well... she is certainly Not happy nor content..
I think that what a lot of transphobes in comment sections don’t understand when speaking on Page’s apparent ‘unhappiness’. Is that it’s fucking hard to talk about this shit. Conversations about transition and coming out and what have you are very emotional and heavy conversations that are quite emotionally taxing. And most of his interviews since coming out cover this topic. Have some fucking empathy and treat him with the respect and dignity that he deserves.
It’s respectful to not play pretend with her and acknowledge her for what she truly is
What transition?.... And imagine how arrogant and selfish you have to be to demean ppl who don't want to accept your culture 🪫⏳
Page has looked and sounded unhappy every since she came out as trans back in 2020. Whether Page is talking about her "transition journey" or some other topic she looks like she's on the verge of tears.
honestly, most of the transphobes are probably over 40 with zero sense of awareness about what other people are capable of feeling
No, she doesn't deserve it
Maybe her next interview will be about detransitioning and how she was duped by the main stream media and doctors.
She is so sick. And desperately trying to hold on. She lives on the verge of a breakdown at any second
He deserves the world
If ever you needed evidence that not accepting yourself and becoming trans does not benefit you in any way
Why would you ruin your life that?
Why do you feel you even deserve to have an opinion on what's necessary for how ANOTHER HUMAN lives authentically, fully, joyful, content, accepted, etc.You do know every single embryo starts as both sexes biologically???? Often the physical body and soul end up on different pages. You do know the Indigenous people have common 3rd gender "2S" two-spirit? Pay attention to you own life and learn to be kind and understanding....God loves everyone.
@@joanneweiss3864She is a victim of agenda that we are being forcefeed by social media. "Take a pill that completely negates beautiful process of nature. You will be happy. It's not the attitude you have to change, you should just listen to us, because we know what's best for you"
Yo Prophet, go back to your magic sky daddy BS and leave your judgement to yourself. YATA who tries to ruin lives!
@@matix676 Getting cancer and dying from it without a pill as you say, also negates the process of nature. He is not a victim, he seems perfectly happy.
@@petra5840 You are lying to yourself if you say she looks happy. Just watch this interview and watch an interview from 9 years ago (the Conan one for example) and draw your own conclusion. There is a reason why suicide rate amongst transgender people is so high. You could say "oh it's because they are feeling not accepted by society". Guess what, many people feel like they are being not accepted by society, but first of all, not all of them commit suicide. Second of all, if transgender people feel that's "who they always meant to be" after the surgery and whole process, it shouldn't matter if people around them don't feel good about their decision. The problem arises, when trans person becomes more aware about the fact, that their decision 20 or so years ago was worst decision they ever made and medical consequences of this decision become more and more apparent, that's when this person snaps...
Page, wish you all the best there is. No matter what you do, you ll always be "she", it s the inside. Be happy 😊
My stomach feels terrible about how it looks now than it did before. I used to think she was quite a pretty girl ... now she's scary!
"its been an absolute joy", she says as she looks like she just watched her mother get taken off life support. How can anyone watch this and have ANYTHING positive to say? Its a disgrace and my heart bleeds for what happened to this woman before she had a chance to properly think it through.
14:24 shes telling you how she really feels right here
I'm grateful to Elliot for living fully as himself, gives me joy to see him.
she her name is ellen page
Really? She looks like she’s about to jump off a bridge. If anything this is a cautionary tale.
Cutting your body is the opposite of accepting your authentic self. She rejected her own body, that's why she went under the knife to change it. I wanted to go under the knife because I hated my small boobs... but I learned to accept myself and did not go under the knife.
This breaks my heart. She was beautiful. Wish him good health and happiness!
Ellen looks terrible. She needs to heal and recover.
This is so f****ng beautiful! Trans is beautiful! Trans joy is beautiful!

What a stud ❤
He looks so happy and radiates trans joy.
She looks like shes on the verge of a breakdown and it could come at any second
@@doubleboy2388you don't understand sarcasm?
Sad and unhealthy. Im afraid for her.

You're ironically being the demonic one here for assuming someone being happy with themselves is demonic. Go be stupid somewhere else, please
It's almost like she was forced to transition against her will.. At one point there has to be a sense of regret.. Stay strong Ellen!
By the ✡️s who needed a sacrifice
his name is elliot
Denying reality is not something we should encourage as a society, even if it makes a person feel better.
So if Page would just said "I'm always be a woman, even if I'd chosen to live my life as if I was born a male, which I'm not biologically and never will be", would this will be fine?

@@acatwithaids5398 Least deranged Germanic right-winger take (no disrespect for sane Germanics like Elliot Page, he's a good person unlike you). At least I'm not a transphobe (I guess being a transphobe is a requirement for being an "educated and civilized person" in your eyes).
What do you make of Elliot’s body language? He looks like he doesn’t feel well, too.
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.
@@anattaokonkwoit must be hard to get all this hate over the internet from transphobes, huh?

I need EP to just sit back and relax, its stressful watching them sit there, ill at ease.
I used to watch her movies like hard candy and Juno , but now look at her , it doesn’t feel right 😢
That person is not happy.
Lansky seems completely partisan when it comes to the trans debate. No real journalism here.
Freedom for Everyone is our aspirations!

she looks awful, and I do not say that to be hurtful or hateful. I simply do not see the joy one is supposed to have in a positively chosen, "flowing" way of life - and she IS in the position to easily live that "lifestyle", but I am not convinced she is happy now. Or he, if that helps.
that is a very tiny man
U are my crush from now on ❤❤❤❤
what in the manlet
It looks sick and sad
“it”? damn
Great video, thank you for posting this!
I don’t have a horse in the race when it comes to Ellen becoming Elliot. My take though is he seems so unhappy and it’s sad.
Now she's not a woman or a man
SOOO SAD
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING HER MOVIES, THEN I DIDNT SEE ANY FOR AWHILE SO I LOOK HER UP TO SEE THIS PERSON. SOO SOO SAD
I remember reading this decision was made after punching herself in the face repeatedly
LMAO
169 likes says it all.
so proud of elliot
There is no lack of representation. The amount of trans people is tiny compared to the population. Wanting to see more of something that isn't shown commonly doesn't mean there is a lack of representation.
I'm perfectly fine with someone changing their name, if you want me to call you Elliot I think it really doesn't make any difference. If you feel the need to dress and express yourself differently because you didn't like being feminine then that's cool, I'm happy for people who can express themselves freely. However, if you want me to identify you as a male and address you as such then that's where I have to draw the line. I mean absolutely no disrespect to you as a person, but I have the belief that if you are clearly a female, then it shouldn't be forced upon me to address you with the pronouns of your choosing. If you can pass as male and people are happy to accept you as one then that's great and I'm happy for you, but if someone doesn't accept you as male then you shouldn't force it upon them. I think you would be much happier if you accepted that you are a female instead of trying to pass of as something that you're not, that doesn't mean you have to change anything about yourself, only to continue to express yourself exactly as you are but accept that if people want to identify you as female then you should embrace it. I think that this would be an honest and healthy way to present yourself as a trans person.
She used to be cool
Talk about the Crying Game
Let people live and love as they please
Poor girl
elliot’s a boy.
Trans grief? So fake grief?
It's called 'regret' but according to the Minor Attracted Left that's just them 'living as their true selves'

HE! He was born a male based on gender identity developed in utero, trans people are born in the opposite sex in ways that matter! They are literally born intersex based on their unique physiology, and yet people like you weaponize cultural definition of sex against the actual definition of their sex. The reason most trans people are sad is because of the way how the world treats them, just like you, it is traumatizing over and over again, each purposeful misgendering is a psychological violence that is able to create micro-traumas, that over time accumulate and cause a major trauma which then leads to a suicide! It is people like you that make them sad, and that have blood on their hands, we do not live in a vacuum, do you understand that? It is unbelievable how oblivious people are. All of this has been multiple times documented through extensive research and therapy.
@@Shalanaya "Male" isn't a gender, "boy" and "man" is tho (why both sides conflate sex and gender, I don't understand?). Bcs I think and I've been told they're two different things.
This person WAS such a good actor… now you people cheer on delusions
So now she can only play trans characters really. She’s in no way convincing as a man. You can call for inclusion and diversity in movies all you want, but if the public doesn’t want to hear yet more trans stories her projects will flop.
“So talk about new kind of roles you’ll be doing“.
