“If you are able, support @transanta and @translifeline See you in 2021 Xoxo Elliot," the actor added.
Page’s update comes almost three weeks after the Oscar-nominated star wrote a lengthy, heartwarming post on the image-sharing platform, revealing that he is transgender and non-binary.
“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.

Born in 1987, Page started his professional acting career in 1999 with a TV series called “Pit Pony.” The actor went on to star in many projects and also played the role of Shadowcat in the superhero flick “X-Men: The Last Stand.” However, his moment of glory came in 2007 when he starred in the blockbuster movie “Juno.” The film received universal acclaim and earned him maiden Oscar nominations.
Apart from that, the actor has also been nominated for Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Primetime Emmys in his career.
“Inception,” “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Flatliners,” and “The Umbrella Academy” are some of the other big projects that Page has been a part of in the past.
