Talk:Elliot Page

ellipses

frighteningly talented ... who is able to seem, in the space of a single scene, mature beyond ... years and disarmingly childlike

I understand what's happening here, but "mature beyond years" is not a phrase, and there's no reason to bowdlerize quotes because they use female pronouns. We all know that Page was known as an "actress" named "Ellen Page" and referred to by female pronouns before he transitioned, what are we accomplishing here? john k (talk) 16:10, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The correct style here is mature beyond [his] years. MOS:GENDERID advises editors to Paraphrase, elide, or use square brackets to replace portions of quotations to avoid deadnaming or misgendering; that is what we are accomplishing here. You are correct that this was an oversight (now fixed), but the ham-fisted reference to Page's deadname and accusations of bowdlerizing were not necessary. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 16:30, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Should we add Category:Male feminists category?

The Category:Feminist artists and Category:Canadian feminists categories were already there before Page came out but I think it makes sense to add this as he is still a feminist even after coming out. He is non-binary as well, but he is still male, so I believe the category applies. Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 06:38, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Is "male" here referring to biological sex or to gender identity? I'm not seeing any trans people on that list (Karl M. Baer was intersex and arguably should have been assigned male at birth) but I could be mistaken. Manuductive (talk) 02:18, 16 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
"Male" in categories very much refers to Gender identity, and given how Page is male, I do think he should count as a male feminist given how he's continued advocacy for women's rights. Turtletennisfogwheat (talk) 05:42, 20 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Considering everything on this page is referring to him as he/him it is definitely gender identity Depresss (talk) 21:57, 31 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Page came out as gay"

On February 14, 2014, Page, who at that time presented as female, came out as gay (Page being attracted to women) I feel like there has to be a less clunky wording here, even without using the term lesbian. I'm not very familiar with this topic area, so I figure it's worth bringing to the talk page so I don't run into any issues here. Skarmory (talk • contribs) 05:15, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

"Gynephilic" and "gynosexual"/"gynesexual" are words that mean 'attracted to women', so perhaps using one of these words and linking to Androphilia and gynephilia might make this clearer? There seems to be some controversy around the difference between these two words, so I'm not sure which one would be most appropriate; compare e.g. https://www.health.com/mind-body/health-diversity-inclusion/gynesexual vs https://www.webmd.com/sex/what-is-gynosexuality vs https://lgbtqia.wiki/wiki/Gynesexual vs https://feeld.co/ask-feeld/how-to/understanding-gynesexuality-attraction-to-femininity

The repeated hedges are indeed confusing, and choosing our own word like gynophile would be inappropriate. Let's say what we mean: On February 14, 2014, Page came out as a lesbian.[1][2]. –RoxySaunders 🏳️‍⚧️ (talk • stalk) 17:02, 4 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I didn't make that change was a small talk page discussion from 2014, but I'm personally fine with the change as there now is a reason that we can't easily respect the exact wording Page used at the time (it's confusing and requires further explanation).

Could somebody please add the 2025 short film 'The Tiger' to the filmography table, in which Page stars as Braxton.
