Whoa.

I'm not sure if I find the thread title distasteful or excellent.

Wouldn't the pronouns be he/him? They would be non-binary.

Trans people refer to using their old names as "dead naming."

I am curious about that. Page is non-binary, why adopt a masculine pronoun and a historically male name?
Good for Elliot. As an actor i hope he can get work playing characters whose gender identity is irrelevant to a story.

I can't tell you how much I'm going to hate having to endure the sniping, jokes, and outraged defenses that are incoming over the next couple of months. You just know it's coming.

Sigh.

So she went from castrating Patrick Wilson to growing a penis. That's so Ellen.

Is page non-binary? Page refers to himself in the Tweet as trans. That is why I thought the pronouns would e he/him.

The name change makes sense either way. In either case, choosing a new name can be an important part of the transition. Choosing a historically-male name helps signal that change.

 

[Neutral Corner]

The tweet reads he/him. Why all the debate? Call Elliott a him.

 

[Songbird]

Call Elliott a him.

Nice trans, I said, nice trans.

The pronouns in the Tweet are he/they, not he/him. He/him would make sense.

 

[Neutral Corner]

Ah. I denounce myself.

No wonder it was Juno and not Junae.

Bad Latin joke.

I don't even know the joke but it looks funny.

 

[Scout]

Is he still sneaky hot? I'm asking myself that.

Plus, will Page still play a female in upcoming Umbrella Academy shows?

 

[Jerry-atric]

Please change the thread title.

It is already happening. Just look at the responses on Page's Tweet. Actually, don't look. It'll just **** you off.

I'm actively avoiding that as hard as I am Mandalorian spoilers.
