Neighbours Star Georgie Stone Thanks Elliot Page After He Comes Out As Transgender
‘Neighbours’ star Georgie Stone has thanked Elliot Page after the actor shared a personal statement on social media, coming out as transgender.
The 20-year-old Australian, the first trans person to take on a full-time role in the soap, shared a screenshot on her Instagram story of the ‘Juno’ star’s post along with the caption, “Thank you Elliot” and a heart emoji.
Georgie, the youngest person to receive hormone blockers in Australia at age 10, recently spoke about the trans community in an Instagram post dedicated to raising awareness about violence against trans people.
“We’re good, compassionate, loving people,” she wrote. “We’re diverse, unique and special. We are seeing progress every year ― and it is important to celebrate those wins.”
Local trans actors Daniielle Alexis and Suzy Wrong also acknowledged Elliot’s coming-out post.
“Congrats on your coming out trans story babe,” ‘Wentworth’ star Daniielle wrote. “You’re strong, beautiful and courageous @elliotpage.”
Suzy reposted Elliot’s statement, along with the caption, “Ellen Page (Juno, Inception) is now Elliot Page, pronouns he/they #TransIsBeautiful”.
On Monday, the 33-year-old actor, formerly known as Ellen Page, wrote in a statement posted on Twitter: “Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot. I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life.
“I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self.
“I’ve been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society.”
