Elliot Page Is ‘Grateful To Be Here And Alive’ & That’s The Power Of Gender-Affirming Care

Elliot Page has spoken candidly about his life in the lead-up to his memoir Pageboy’s release next week.

For Elliot, the decision to share his life story wasn’t easy. Especially when it required him to be incredibly vulnerable.

The long-awaited memoir examines more than just his rise to fame. It explores Elliot’s relationship with his body, mental health, love, sex, relationships, and of course, how he navigated being one of the most famous transgender actors in Hollywood.

“I do feel like I barely made it in many ways. But today, I’m just me and grateful to be here and alive and taking one step at a time,” he told People.

But while he’s lived through some difficult times, he notes that his trans experience isn’t reflective of what many trans people go through.
