After "Umbrella Academy" and "Juno" star Elliot Page came out as transgender on Tuesday, celebrities flooded social media with support for the actor.
Page, who previously came out as gay in 2014, announced in a letter shared on Twitter and Instagram that he used both he/him and they/them pronouns.
"I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life," he wrote in the statement. "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."

Page said that he was "endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community," and honored the at least 40 trans lives lost to violence in 2020. "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," he added.
"Elliot" soon became the top trend on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon, a representative for the platform told Insider, as fans and celebrities began showing their support for Page.
