Elliot Page (formerly known to fans as X-Men movies and Umbrella Academy star Ellen Page) has made the official announcement that he is transgender and non-binary, preferring both the he/him and they/them pronouns (according to Variety’s reporting). In a statement posted to Instagram, Page states in part that, “I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive. To all the trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse, and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you, and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better.”
