Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans,

I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self, Elliot Page, via Instagram.
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, Elliot Page, via Instagram.
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, Elliot Page, via Instagram.

All transgender people deserve the chance to be ourselves and to be accepted for who we are. We celebrate the remarkable Elliot Page today, Nick Adams, GLAAD’s Director of Transgender Media, via statement
