Elliot Page is telling his own story.
Elliot Page has decided to write a book. The memoir, titled “Pageboy,” will give Page the chance to tell his own story.
It will delve into Page’s relationship with his body, his experiences as one of the most famous trans people in the world, and will cover mental health, assault, love, relationships, sex, and the cesspool that Hollywood can be,” publishing house Flatiron Books said according to the Associated Press.
Page came out as trans in 2020 by reintroducing himself with his name and pronouns in an Instagram post. “I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer. And the more I hold myself close and fully embrace who I am, the more I dream, the more my heart grows and the more I thrive,” he wrote. “To all trans people who deal with harassment, self-loathing, abuse and the threat of violence every day: I see you, I love you and I will do everything I can to change this world for the better.”

In April of last year, he sat down with Oprah Winfrey on Apple TV+’s The Oprah Conversation. “Well, it’s this interesting dichotomy in a way where on some level it feels just like the most miraculous, amazing thing — and it’s also just the experience of, ‘Oh, there I am,’ ” Page said in his first sit down interview since coming out.

“A part of me was like, ‘Oh my god, why was that so hard? Why?’ ” he recalled. “Why has society made getting to this place of my life — because that’s the situation we’re facing. And yeah, it was probably driving my friends crazy, sending them profile photos of me post having top surgery and how different I felt after that and all this space.”
“Pageboy” is set to come out sometime next year.
