Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page publicly came out as trans earlier in the month.
Earlier this month, Elliot Page best known for his Academy Award-nominated role in Juno, penned a powerful letter on his social media channels, coming out as transgender.
“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,” he wrote.
“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.”
Elliot’s openness about his gender identity was met with broad support. And in an emotional essay published on HuffPost, a grandmother, writer and activist, Maryann Durmer, explained how Elliot’s coming out helped their own grandchild come out to their family.
Praising Elliot, Maryann wrote: “His coming out publicly is helping my 22-year-old granddaughter and many other trans people live openly with freedom.
“My granddaughter came out five weeks ago. When I heard the news, I texted her: ‘I talked to your dad last night. I’m so happy you came out, and I support you 100%. I just wanted to stop by and tell you I love you. If there’s anything I can do to help you, I’m here.'”
