Elliot Page and the impossible promise of transition

Published



At the world premiere of The Odyssey in London, Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page, made an appearance. Page’s role in the highly anticipated Christopher Nolan adaptation has been controversial. A biological female who identifies as a male, Page plays a male role. But the movie’s release isn’t as shocking as what fans saw at the premiere. 

Page, dressed in a brown suit that was too large, smiled for cameras, posed with colleagues, and appeared awkward while descending the stairs. It’s not as if Page has trouble walking or maneuvering. The issue is that Page is trying to present herself to the public as a male. Reportedly standing 5-foot-1, the star is diminutive in stature with no overtly masculine characteristics. The actor has undergone top surgery to remove her breasts and takes testosterone. But still, Page does not come across as male.
