Taking this small step, @TheElliotPage made a giant leap for transmasculine visibility. This morning we went from “not even in culture’s imagination” to having an Oscar nominated actor showing the world the steps it takes to find & embrace your authenticity—on screen for years. https://twitter.com/theelliotpage/status/1333820783655837701

So proud of Elliot Page for navigating a level of visibility in his career that is daunting even for folks who aren’t trans. To the world, Elliot was acting through two masks—culture’s expectation and Hollywood’s demands—and they still thrived. That’s some power.

Congratulations, Elliot, and thank you. Coming out today was a massively selfless move that will help a lot of people understand us better, and affirms for us that no matter how people see us, who we know we are is the role of a lifetime—the only one worth playing.
