Elliot Page has announced that he is transgender ❤

A picture of elliot page in a hat reading "Stop Alton Gas", next to a few paragraphs of text too small & blurry to read

A series of Tweets with usernames covered up, each replying to the last.

Um... is this an error? They put up a picture of Ellen Page. Typo maybe?

Not a typo, he's Elliot Page

I'm not sure I understand. Please explain?

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're well intentioned lol. His name used to be Ellen Page but he has come out as a trans gender man, so now his name is Elliot Page. They're the same person

OH! Oh okay - I'm new to this. I didn't understand what was happening. Thank you for explaining. I thought it was some new meme that I missed out on.

In that case, I'm going to join everyone else and say that I am very happy for Elliot Page. I've always been a huge fan of his.

but for real, when this announcement came out it actually took me real effort to figure out who the fuck Elliot page was because they hadn't really been that active at the time otherwise. no fucking articles anywhere mentioned what they used to be called so i was genuinely very confused.
