Elliot Page Says He Feels ‘The Best He Ever Felt’ and That Wearing Suit to Oscars Was a ‘Joyful Moment’

“I’ve been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society,” he wrote.

“I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And 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. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better.”

He then asked for “patience” as he navigates his new identity.

“My joy is real, but it is also fragile,” he wrote, “The truth is, despite feeling profoundly happy right now and knowing how much privilege I carry, I am also scared.”

“I’m scared of the invasiveness, the hate, the ‘jokes’ and of violence. To be clear, I am not trying to dampen a moment that is joyous and one that I celebrate, but I want to address the full picture.”
