A primary school in south-west London has included actor Elliot Page in its teaching materials as a positive example of masculinity, as part of a broader effort to challenge harmful gender stereotypes.
Streatham Wells Primary School featured Page — the Canadian actor who medically transitioned with cross-sex hormones and surgery and now identifies as a man — in a lesson about how masculinity can take many forms. In materials shared with pupils, the school described Page as someone who shows masculinity “can mean softness and strength.”
