Elliot Page was introduced, I found his Instagram post to be one of the most straightforward, forthright, and frightening pieces about coming to terms with who you are.
He was brutally honest when he said, “My joy is real, but it is also fragile. … I am also scared. The discrimination towards trans people is rife, insidious and cruel, resulting in horrific consequences."He is sorrowfully right.
Forty transgender and gender-nonconforming people have died by violence so far this year in the U.S., and just this past weekend, one of my favorite actresses, Laverne Cox, and a friend were attacked by an anti-transgender assailant in Los Angeles’s Griffith Park.
