A heartwarming message. Elliot Page’s wife, Emma Portner, reacted to his transgender announcement with a beautiful Instagram post about how his “existence is a gift.” Page—who is known for roles in the 2007 film Juno, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, and Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy—came out as transgender in an Instagram post on Tuesday, November 1. “Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot,” he wrote. “I feel lucky to be writing this.
To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey.
