Canadian actor Elliot Page publicly came out as transgender in December 2020, announcing that his first name would be Elliot. News of the actor’s transition received widespread attention; Time magazine featured him on its cover in March 2021, making Page the first openly trans man to be so featured. In June 2023 Page published Pageboy: A Memoir, an account of his career thus far and his journey toward acceptance of his true identity.
