But the rhetoric coming from anti-trans activists and anti-LGBTQ activists\u2014it\u2019s devastating. These bills are going to be responsible for the death of children. It is that simple,\u201d Page said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt just felt like, Okay, the GOP basically wants to destroy the lives of trans kids and stop the Equality Act. How do you <em>not<\/em> use this platform?\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Page said that she knew she was a boy as a toddler \u2013 between 12 to 36 months old.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI knew I was a boy when I was a toddler,\u201d she said. \u201cI was writing fake love letters and signing them \u2018Jason.\u2019 Every little aspect of my life, that is who I was, who I am, and who I knew myself to be. I just couldn\u2019t understand when I\u2019d be told, \u2018No, you\u2019re not. No, you can\u2019t be that when you\u2019re older.\u2019 Now I\u2019m finally getting myself back to feeling like who I am, and it\u2019s so beautiful and extraordinary, and there\u2019s a grief to it in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Page\u2019s interview with Vanity Fair comes prior to her interview with Oprah that will premiere on Apple+ where she will talk about the joys of coming out as transgender.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to talk about it for a couple of reasons,\u201d Page <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/movies\/elliot-page-tells-oprah-winfrey-why-he-spoke-out-about-his-top-surgery\/\">told Winfrey<\/a>. \u201cI wanted to share with people just how much it has changed my life. And I want people to know that not only has it been life-changing for me, I do believe it is life-saving and it\u2019s the case for so many people\u2026 and because there is such an attack on trans health care right now, when already there is such a lack of access or trans people who don\u2019t even want to go to the doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor the first time in, I don\u2019t even know how long, [I am] really just being able to sit by myself, be on my own, be productive, and be creative,\u201d Page added. \u201cIt\u2019s such an oversimplification to say it this way, but I\u2019m comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/juno-star-ellen-page-im-a-transgender-man-named-elliot\">previously reported<\/a>, Page came out as transgender and non-binary in early December 2020, roughly six years after coming out as a lesbian.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he\/they and my name is Elliot,\u201d Page said in a statement posted to Twitter. \u201cI feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can\u2019t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Page openly worried about the dangers of coming out as trans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe statistics are staggering. The discrimination towards trans people is rife, insidious and cruel, resulting in horrific consequences. In 2020 alone it has been reported that at least 40 transgender people have been murdered, the majority of which were Black and Latinx trans women,\u201d Page asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Page then called out the \u201cthe political leaders\u201d who \u201cwant to criminalize trans health care and deny our right to exist.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Y]ou have blood on your hands. You unleash a fury of vile and demeaning rage that lands on the shoulders of the trans community, a community in which 40% of trans adults report attempting suicide. Enough is enough. You aren\u2019t being \u2018cancelled,\u2019 you are hiring people. I am one of those people and we won\u2019t be silent in the face of your attacks,\u201d Page wrote.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
