Do you think he had surgery to get those abs?

Yes, and what kind of roles are there for a 5'1 man?

Testosterone. It seems a lot of the public really doesn’t understand what a gigantic difference that hormone makes. Transgender women will never be the same as women in terms of bone density, musculature, size of organs etc. no matter how much estrogen and progesterone they take because the changes testosterone makes are permanent. And transgender men who go on testosterone are very quickly and permanently changed in a way that detransitioning cannot cure.


Wow, that does make a case for starting young if you know you are trans.


No, it does not. Good Lord!

They wouldn't stay up wondering all these "questions" and would treat them with respect, etc.....but for some reason they tend to get up in arms whenever trans people get attention for being trans. That seems to be a big part of what bothers them. And I can't for the life of me figure out why except maybe they resent that they don't get attention for living their lives, so what makes trans people/gay people/ whatever so special?

It bears repeating that maybe instead of wondering where your attention/medal/parade/movement is, be happy that you have never been in a position where you needed one.


That’s BS. I’m not asking a neighbor to explain it to me. But this is a topic on an anonymous forum, so it’s ok to ask and discuss. You just don’t like the discussion.

that's my question. The spouse was a lesbian, but is now married to a man?



Elliot says he’s non-binary not a man.


Why the transition then and the name change?


I’m not being rude, but this is my question. I’m definitely not educated on the subject, but I thought coming out as trans meant you were the opposite sex of your birth sex. I apologize in advance if I am being rude.

I don’t know his wife’s sexual orientation but maybe it’s more fluid and she doesn’t care what the gender presentation is as long as Elliot is happy. But what is a straight spouse suppose to do in that situation? I understand being compassionate and loving towards the transgender spouse but I can’t imagine staying with my husband if he transitioned. I really hope society becomes more accepting of people so these situations are less likely to happen. It can be devastating for a spouse to deal with especially if there are kids involved.


They divorced in 2020.

HE (pronouns given in the statement) has actively chosen to share some information at this time. If Elliot wishes to share more information, he will do so. Here is the information that Elliot chose to share:

https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2020/12/01/elliot-page-juno-umbrella-academy-comes-out-transgender/3780081001/

Surely you have better things to do than speculate about things that aren't your business. Right now, Elliot has provided information and presumably does not wish to satisfy your every possible curiosity.


Exactly. It isn't your business what anyone else's anatomy is. If the person is not your romantic partner, their anatomy is not your concern. Would you find it invasive if someone started asking specific questions about your anatomy or hormones you were taking? Hey Karen, are those nipples of yours inverted? I know you are getting up there in years, but your skin still looks so soft. Are you taking an estrogen supplement? Would you think that kind of question was an invasion of your privacy or inappropriate? I bet so. Yes, Elliot Page has announced publicly that he is trans. In part, being a public figure requires making some sort of announcement, as otherwise there would be confusion. That still doesn't mean that the world is entitled to know that sort of information.

Head on down to Central America and it's the norm. I'm a 5'4" woman and I was often taller than the men I was dancing with.


I have been to several Central American countries and the average height of men there is no where near 5'1". At most it is around 5'5" to 5"7. It might be some men in some indigenous tribes are 5'1" but in this country it is really uncommon for adult men to be so short and weigh 100 pounds. It makes fitting in much, much harder. Look at Chaz Bono who is short at 5'5" but would easily blend in using a public men's restroom.

Elliott’s jaw is so square it’s shocking. There is a real physical difference post-transition in the structure of his face.
