Elliot Page has sparked an emotional response from fans after sharing a deeply personal message about identity and self-acceptance.

Page came out as transgender in 2020 and has since become one of the most visible trans voices in entertainment. Through interviews, public appearances, and social media, he often speaks about representation, bodily autonomy, and the importance of feeling seen—especially for young people.

In his bestselling memoir Pageboy (released in 2023), Page writes candidly about the weight of shame he carried for years and how long it took to feel at home in his body. The book also explores the pressures of fame, emotional isolation, and the challenges of navigating Hollywood while questioning identity.

More recently, Page appeared in a video shared on the ACLU’s Instagram, answering a simple but powerful question: what would you tell your younger self?

His response resonated widely. Page said he would remind his younger self that he already knew who he was—and to hold on to that truth. He explained that outside voices and pressure made him lose sight of himself, and that much of the pain he felt didn’t belong to him in the first place.

Fans praised the message for its calm strength, calling it comforting and life-affirming.

For many viewers, the moment landed even harder amid ongoing debates and scrutiny around transgender rights in the U.S. Page’s words offered something rare and valuable: reassurance, clarity, and hope—delivered with quiet resilience.
