Actor Elliot Page revealed that he gets misgendered "all the time," but he doesn't care unless it is done with malicious intent. "I get misgendered all the time, and I don't care unless someone's trying to, you know (be mean)," Page told The Guardian.
In his new film Close to You, Page plays a trans man who corrects his on-screen mother when she misgenders him. He explained in an interview that he wouldn't react the same way in real life. "I want to be clear: I wouldn't correct her as me. I'd be, like: 'It's fine. We're gonna move on from the moment. It takes a second'. But you know, I'm not me—I'm Sam here. And that moment was so perfect because that's what happens."
Page further added that his own mother sometimes slips up but it's not an issue for him. "She's pretty good. I'm like, 'Of course, it's going to take you a second, mom. It's fine. You don't need to beat yourself up about it!'." reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Not so long ago, Elliot Page also spoke up about his love life. According to him, he feels "exhilarated" to be single. He confessed that he is not dating anybody these days and is having a great time with himself. In fact, he confessed that he earlier jumped into the relationship frequently because he was feeling a little "selfish." Speaking of relationships, Elliot Page dated Samantha Thomas before his transition. Later, he married Emma Portner and remained with her for two years.
