Apologies if there’s already a thread about this. I searched but we all know what Mumsnet search functionality is like!

I’m watching the Elliot Page documentary on the BBC and I’m struck by how sad and depressed he seems. Has anyone else seen it? It’s such an awkward interview because the interviewer has a permanent grin on her face like she’s trying not to laugh!

Page is giving off the vibes of somebody who has just had some really bad news and is trying to hold it together. The eyes look "dead".

Tenuously linked, but I have just been watching a video posted by "Milo" who featured in a 2016 MTV documentary called "Transformation" and has just decided to stop taking testosterone.

The original doc is here:

It's a sad sad story. I read an interview with Page a couple of weeks ago and it was just a litany of abuse, sexual assault and trauma. I felt so very sorry for Page, who has clearly suffered enormously and developed gender dysphoria as a result

I don't know why I'd want to watch it tbh. Nothing about Page at the moment is comfortable to watch. The account in the autobiography of all the abuse Page suffered as a younger person is really shocking even for Hollywood standards, and it is deeply sad that it seems the parents didn't support Page being same sex attracted.

'before stepping into my truth, being in this body'

Mate, you are still and always will be in that same body. You only get one.
