In December 2020, the Juno alumna came out as transgender after decades of subtly battling female distress. At the time, he wrote in a social media post,” My delight is true, but it is also fragile.” The truth is that even though I am incredibly happy right now and am aware of how much pleasure I have, I also feel afraid. I’m afraid of intrusion, hatred,” jokes,” and crime.
To all trans people who deal daily with bullying, self-hatred, abuse, and the threat of violence, he continued,” I see you, I love you and I will do everything in my power to improve this world.”
Elliot has since kept his word and has been forthcoming about his travels, including his healing from major surgery. In May, he captioned a naked picture,” Dysphoria used to be particularly rife in the summer.” ” No layers, only a T-shirt, or layers and oh so sweaty- frequently looking downward, readjusting my large T. It feels so f’ing good soaking in the sun then, I always thought I could experience this, the joy I feel in my body.”
In his recently released narrative Pageboy, the Umbrella Academy star even described his move.
