Elliot Pageis standing up to protect trans youth rights in Texas
It Juno actor, who came out as transgender in 2020, said he is “horrified” after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton issued a written opinion on Feb. 21 defining gender-affirming care, such as hormone therapy and puberty blockers, as child abuse under state laws.
A day after Ken’s opinion was released, Gov. Greg Abbott showed his support by issuing a directive for the state’s child welfare agency to launch “prompt and thorough investigations” into reports of “gender-transitioning procedures.”
Elliot has been a prominent Hollywood trans figure and condemned this move. CelebHomes News released a statement condemning this move. Umbrella AcademyActor said that he was horrified at the “inhumane” and “downright dangerous statements made by Texas’ Attorney General. Trans youth should be provided with gender-affirming and safe care so that they can live out their authentic, true selves free from fear or oppression. I support trans youths and their families.
