In an Instagram video, actor Elliot Page shared with his fans what advice he would give to his younger self before undergoing gender transition.
Elliot Page’s fans were moved after learning what advice the actor would give to his younger self. The message came through a video on the Instagram profile of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
“My message to my younger self would be something like: ‘You know who you are, and please embrace it,'” said Page.
“I understood my truth. I felt it very strongly, but it was all those external forces and noise that pushed and pulled me, making me lose focus on who I was,” he confided.
Elliot Page publicly came out as a trans man in 2020 and has since been a strong advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, using his celebrity platform to campaign and offer support to others.
“Thank you, Elliot, for all the work you have done to protect the rights of trans people,” thanked one fan. “My son doesn’t have social media, but as a mother, I thank you,” said another profile.
