In both of these performances, at least according to me and all my projections, Elliot Page is incredibly, visibly, trans. He’s just like, ha ha, this is me! Whatever dude!! In Juno, Elliot Page is just as trans he seems in Umbrella Academy.īut in Juno, Elliot Page has no fucking idea he is trans- or at least, he’s not aware enough for it to actively haunt his every facial expression. I figured re-watching this movie with this new knowledge of Elliot Page in mind, would not only be uncomfortable, but… Well, painful. So last week, though I tried as hard as I could to avoid it, I had to watch Juno for work.īased on my experience of watching Umbrella Academy, I was not looking forward to this. My trans group chat made fun of the show, particularly Elliot, for hours after watching.Īfter Elliot announced that he was a transman, that thread became my longest running unintentional self own to date. I watched the entirety of Gerard Way’s MCR miniseries - sorry, I mean, The Umbrella Academy.īefore his transition announcement, this was the last time I had thought about Elliot Page. How do I calm down so my friends don’t have to deal w my feelings? I can tell because my friends who are POC are like… dude… chill. The problem is, I get so consumed by wanting to do better that I think I make things worse. I know I know white supremacy lives in all of us but I just - want to do better. I know that’s not the point, but I want to not be a jerk that’s upholding the ways in which White people make other people’s lives shitty. The Question: I try hard to be good White ally.
