Elliot Page: “Testosterone drastically changed my life for the better”
Canadian actor Elliot Page spoke about his journey with testosterone and his new memoir last weekend at the Library of Congress National Book Festival.
During the interview, conducted by trans journalist Gina Chua, Page revealed more about the process of writing Pageboy, as well as his trans journey more generally. “I’m on testosterone, I’ve been on testosterone for a bit over two years,” he told the audience. “It’s something that has drastically changed my life for the better, personally.
Everybody has different experiences, and what they want, and relationships with their body, needless to say. For me, it’s made my life better.” Joking about stereotypes targeting trans men, he proudly declares, “I’m the least angry I’ve ever been!
Everyone needs to stop blaming testosterone.” He also explained that he knew how coming out would help to end the “endless discomfort” he had felt for years. “I could have never imagined in a million years, how different I feel,” Page reveals.
