Trans actor Elliot Page, known for his roles in Umbrella Academy and Juno, has urged US lawmakers to protect trans youth, following a string of anti-trans laws across multiple American states.
Page spoke out against two bills recently proposed in Montana, which, if successful, could see trans athletes in public schools banned from participating in sporting categories which align with their gender identity, and trans people under 21 could be denied gender-affirming healthcare.
He tweeted: “Dear Montana Legislators. Please vote no on HB 112 and HB 113. These bills harm trans youth and hurt all of us.
