Elliot Page has announced that he is transgender ❤

A picture of elliot page in a hat reading "Stop Alton Gas", next to a few paragraphs of text too small & blurry to read

A series of Tweets with usernames covered up, each replying to the last.

Um... is this an error? They put up a picture of Ellen Page. Typo maybe?

Not a typo, he's Elliot Page

I'm not sure I understand. Please explain?

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're well intentioned lol. His name used to be Ellen Page but he has come out as a trans gender man, so now his name is Elliot Page. They're the same person

OH! Oh okay - I'm new to this. I didn't understand what was happening. Thank you for explaining. I thought it was some new meme that I missed out on.

In that case, I'm going to join everyone else and say that I am very happy for Elliot Page. I've always been a huge fan of his.

Oh you know what, you're right. My mind actually went first to the Star Trek Discovery episode where the enby character in that came out, to exactly the same reaction. But Umbrella Academy is a much more obvious comparison.

I thought Umbrella Academy would be the obvious comparison due to the fact Elliot plays him

Oh yeah it definitely is. I just didn't recall how the coming out scene happened in UA, whereas the Discovery coming out scene really stuck in my brain.
