Elliot Page says Big Dude threatened to literally kill her

Elliot Page has opened up about an appalling encounter with a “big dude” who shouted vile slurs and threatened to kill him.

Elliot Page said he was crossing the road at Los Angeles’ iconic Sunset Boulevard when a “big dude” started screaming at him.

“This really big dude, less than an arm’s length away, was just screaming at me, ‘You faggot! Don’t look at me! You faggot, faggot!”

“I couldn’t even just go, like, I’m not looking at you. It was the one time I’d left the hotel that whole day.”

Page decided “in my brain” not to do anything physically because the aggressor “was so tall that I couldn’t do anything physically”.

He was also concerned that turning around “could trigger something else” so decided to just stand “completely still” while “staring straight ahead”.

“And then eventually, after him yelling, ‘Faggot! Faggot! Faggot!’ some more, he started to walk off and I started to cross the street,” Page said. “And then he just started screaming, behind me, ‘I’m gonna kill you, you fucking faggot! I’m gonna kill you, you fucking faggot! I’m gonna gay-bash you!’”

Page added: “So I ran — I was alone — I ran into a convenience store, and as I was opening the door he yelled, ‘This is why I need a gun!’

“Yeah, I don’t think people really get it.”

The correct response from Ellen would have been to express her appreciation for him accepting her as a man.

The current trans wave is the navel-gazing decadence of hopelessly postmodern, late stage capitalism.

No one is going to be trans once disease, famine and war take up peoples' full attention. Instead of squatting over internet mirrors and seeking validation for their perceived inner selves, reality takes centre stage.

Is it possible this Guy was attracted to Eliot and that made him sacred and homophobic, though he might have just be attracted to the elements of her being a former women and not necessarily as a him and developing homoerotic feelings?

I am very confused about people having attraction to the former gender of a Trans person that they are picking up on and where they lie on the sexuality spectrum?

Like when straight men say they are particularly attracted to Trans women, are they experiencing attraction to the woman they’ve become or the man that they were?

Thank you, R61.

What gets me about the GOP gays we have here, is that they truly do not seem to understand what this means for Elliot, or how Elliot experiences life.

I was CONSTANTLY harassed by white kids when I was a child, because I was not their race when I was little.

It’s amazing I had the strength to overcome that, but I overcame that due to a few white teachers and education administration people, having my back.

Still, I didn’t know that it was happening because I was mixed race, I thought it was happening because people just hated me.

Americans, as a society, are constantly looking for someone to blame or fault for our mishaps. Let’s stop doing this, and truly take a look at ourselves, and attempt to understand what WE are lacking, instead of projecting shit upon others.

We MUST CONTINUE to constantly question ourselves, guys. We must ask ourselves if we hate people because we are afraid or because we do not under that hate is a construct that does not actually exist until we are taught to hate.

No more of this.

R66? I'm a lesbian and I'm not going to bat for her.

What she's basically doing is setting an example to younger lesbians that just being a lesbian isn't good enough -- they actually have to "become men," whatever the fuck that means. Why isn't it OK to be a lesbian? I mean, she'll never be a man, no matter what she thinks/says/tries to force other people to believe.

BTW, R61, my one bff is 5'0" and another is 4'10". Lots of women are that short -- it's hardly approaching "little people" territory. Besides, that's why a lot of short women wear high heels.

And as for you, R65, you did not choose your race. The true analogy is imagining that you were upset that people were mocking you because of your color because you felt "white inside." So you decided that in order to get the same treatment and privileges that you believe a white man gets, you decided to become a white person by getting a nose job, straightening your hair, using skin lighteners, etc. Then you tried to join the KKK and were shocked that they told you you weren't really white. Get it?

In my heart of hearts, I believe that a lot of these women just want to be treated with the same nonchalant respect that men give each other without even thinking, and they're dismayed that, when they don't "pass," (height is the first giveaway), they get treated as freaks instead of equals.

And one more thing: I got called "faggot" back when I was still young and cute, and one of my exes (who really did look like a pretty man) got called "faggot" all the time. It's not as unusual as EP seems to think. Deal with it.

From today's Guardian column by Rebecca Nicholson

I am not usually a fan of “in their own words” type celebrity interviews, because they often feel like a cop-out, but I very much enjoyed Elliot Page’s American Esquire cover story this month. The actor revealed that he was transgender at the end of 2020 and offered his eloquent and often moving thoughts on transitioning, identity, joy and pain (as well as sport, books and dogs).

Page also talked about starring in his breakout film, Juno, in 2007, before his transition, when he played a teenage girl who got pregnant by her boyfriend and ended up in an adoption tangle. He said that he wanted to wear a suit on one of the red carpet events, but the studio insisted on a dress. It’s worth looking up the images of what his co-star, Michael Cera, wore during those same promotional duties; you may not drop dead with shock to see that he is in casual trousers and scruffy trainers. I found this oddly infuriating, years later, not least because Juno the character is a jeans-and-shirt type in the movie.

The whole cover story is well worth a read. It struck me as particularly generous. I can barely begin to imagine how exhausting and demoralising it must be to explain your right to simply exist as a transgender person. Page doesn’t have to put himself out there and discuss his darkest moments with all the world, but in doing so, there is hope, that just one person reading it might gain a new, greater understanding.

One advantage that he still has over the Big Dude, and especially at his height, is he should have kicked or kneed the guy in the groin and ran, even on those little legs he should have been toppled for a minute or two before he could engage in chase. At least no one is going to be able to do that to him with causation.

This particular anecdote, if it actually happened in the way she presents it, speaks of the following:

1. the industry's sexism and double standards for women

I understand Elliot Page wanting to be a man; what I don;t understand is why at age 35 Elliot still wants to look like Dennis the Menace.

Can't he dress and cut his hair age-appropriately? I could take him more seriously if he weren't trying to look like he's only a third of his current age.

r66 = Mentally ill like Ellen. Why would lesbians support a... (let's respect this loon's delusion for a sec) man? A despised... straight man, even? For the shared goals/hardships, they may support gay men. Whatever demented Ellen says, she man* hasn't given any evidence that she sucks dicks now, so not a gay man.

Apart from whatever bogus identity (gay, straight, woman, man), why would lesbians support their extremely hate-filled enemy (extremely zealous anti-woman, anti-gay 'activist' E Page) who has been shrieking all things that destroy women's and gays' rights and protections?

"Welcome to the privilege of being a man - threats of assault on the street."

Women are threatened and assaulted on the street all the time, even killed. The only privilege women have on that front, is that they aren't shamed for being unable to win a fight with their attacker.

But they're shamed for dressing wrong, being in the wrong place, being there at all, all the usual victim-blaming crap.

"Love this point from [R75]:

"These women just want to be treated with the same nonchalant respect that men give each other without even thinking, and they're dismayed that, when they don't "pass," (height is the first giveaway), they get treated as freaks instead of equals."

Well that's the thing! Unless a transperson can pass, really pass, they will never be given the attention lavished on attractive women, or the respect given to big strong men. If they do not pass they will usually be treated as freaks or others, and if they partially pass they may get treated as unappealing members of the sex they identify as - as wimpy little guys or ugly women.

And that ought to be the first thing said to kids who want to transition, that the medical transition won't make you into a big strong boy or a pretty girl. There really needs to be pre-transition counseling offered where the realities are discussed. Part of the pre-transitioning process ought to include going out to a club with a big unattractive woman, or a small man who can't fight, and see how they're treated.

Absolutely bizarre to me that the trash gays that infest this site have not a shred of empathy and compassion for someone suffering homophobic abuse, regardless of how he was born. I'm not that shocked though, as usual thread is just another opportunity to block the most hateful gutter scum so I don't have to read any of their pathetic comments in future.

I've had the most mildest form of homophobic abuse before, walking late at night in Amsterdam of all places, with a couple of idiots who just kept calling out "gay!" at me and laughing - I'm over 100kg and 6ft tall, and although like I say it was really mild and I just ignored it, it still feels intimidating as people are unpredictable and for all I knew they were just waiting for an opportunity to cross the road and knife me to death in the street. I can't imagine what it's like for someone as small as him to be targeted as aggressively as that, must be very scary. Sad that these sorts of incidents seem to be rising, instead of disappearing altogether as they should have done by now (but given the hatred and bigotry in our own community, again it's hardly surprising - the fact that some of you inbreds can't show solidarity or empathy and can't see how that contributes to things like this, just makes my head spin. I guess more of you were dropped on your heads a lot as babies, or had parents that didn't love you enough).

That's one of the many things that worries me about the flood of girls going trans, especially teen and under-18 girls. They want to be a boy, and have no idea what it's like to be a man.

FYI, girls, being a man includes having to deal with physical challenges from other men, and being shamed if you can't fight your way out of trouble. So if you think that going trans means you don't have to be afraid of men any more, think again.
