Oscar-Nominated ‘Umbrella Academy’ Star Elliot Page Announces He Is Transgender

Congrats man. He’s one of my favs. But I’m genuinely curious and worried about what’ll happen after this.

Like what’re the ramifications and how will it be handle by him and the general public. What happens when studios get already has plans to act with cut him because they casted for a female role. Is it wrong?

What happens if Netflix lets him go from The Umbrella Academy? Or do they rewrite the character to be a guy or trans? OR do they just ask Elliot to still play the part as a woman? Is that offensive to ask for?

I hope he still gets work and finds success. For himself and for people like him everywhere. But my god are the trolls not gonna make it easy.
