While there's never been a time in modern history when there have been so many openly transgender celebrities, coming out as transgender under the harsh glare of the spotlight takes a special kind of courage. We're here to show you a variety of transgender stars who transitioned after they were famous. On December 1st, 2020, the actor known for hit movies as Juno and Inception took to Instagram to share a message. There, Elliot Page wrote: "I am trans, my pronouns are he/they." He went on to say that he identified as non-binary, which the Human Rights Campaign defines as someone "who does not identify exclusively as a man or a woman." "I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I can't begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self. [...] All 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." Prior to announcing his transition, Page had been starring in Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy. In response to Page's coming out, Netflix responded via Twitter. "So proud of our superhero." Not long after, Entertainment Tonight announced that Page would be returning as Vanya Hargreeves for the third season.
