He wrote, “My joy is genuine, yet delicate. Although I feel deeply happy and acknowledge the privilege I have, I am also feeling scared.”
He expressed, “I’m afraid of the invasiveness, the hatred, the ‘jokes,’ and the potential for violence. I want to be clear that I’m not trying to undermine the joy of this moment that I am celebrating, but rather to address the complete reality.”
Naturally, fans quickly began showering Page with praise and offering their support…
It’s evident that Page’s decision to come out as trans deeply resonated with many people.
The actor then kept a low profile for several months…
Although news of his divorce filing from his wife, Emma Portner, made global headlines.
In March 2021, Page gave his first interview since coming out.
In an interview with Time magazine, Page shared insights about his childhood and his experience coming out as transgender.
He reflected, “I anticipated receiving a lot of support and love, alongside a significant amount of hatred and transphobia. That’s essentially what happened. I felt like a boy and wanted to be one, often asking my mom if that could be possible someday.”
The actor then opened up about making the huge decision to undergo top surgery.
He emphasized that being trans isn’t solely about surgery, but acknowledged that having it “has completely transformed my life.”
Page stated, “We know who we are. People cling to rigid ideas about gender because it makes them feel safe. But if we could embrace and celebrate the wonderful complexities of people, the world would be a much better place. It’s a complicated journey and an ongoing process.”
