Unfortunately a lot of Page’s complex emotions that brewed over years and countless interactions sound like they were unresolved with family and friends, still held back biting his tongue. Maybe something will change for the better later, more self acceptance and open expression. He’s really taking the narrative on a wandering path through his life.

Getting a little lost in the nonlinear events, but overall feeling some emotional whiplash. Traumatizing events like homophobic hate and sexual assault or even “lighter” bullying were described in close succession with his romantic pursuits after coming out and sexual attraction to his partners. So many things happened across Page’s family, personal, and career lives but there isn’t space for digesting them!

Even as Page grew in fame and self-awareness, he was continuously given opportunities but also thrown into situations that complicate his feelings and sense of agency, sense of self, sense kf belonging. I feel the frustration of not knowing what to do, even hearing him reflecting on those moments.

I actually had no clue who Elliot Page was, until I saw the cover and remembered he starred in Juno. So interesting how back when I saw DVDs of Juno on sale in Shanghai, I as a middle-schooler had little to no awareness of the diversity and nuances of gender and sexuality. I'm already incensed by Page's accounts of insensitive media articles around the time of Juno's success.
