ELLIOT PAGE
For his courage in using his renown as a platform to speak out for other transgender people, Canadian actor Elliot Page deserves recognition as a trailblazer. After starring in numerous films and television programs as Ellen Page – from Juno and Hard Candy to Inception and Saturday Night Live and ReGenesis – he came out as gay in 2014 while presenting as a woman, but with The COVID pandemic and after increasing anti-transgender rhetoric in the media, he decided to reveal his true identity in 2020. Since then, his journey has helped to increase awareness and understanding of the challenges of being trans in a sometimes, hostile world. Page is the first openly transgendered man to appear on the cover of Time magazine. His revealing memoir, Pageboy, will be released this month.
“…the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive.” Elliot Page
