Elliot Page: ‘Human Beings Are the Only Species that Are Ridiculous Enough to Seem to Have a Huge Problem with Trans Folks’

TRANSCRIPT:

PAGE: "The natural world and what we learn in biology class, in terms of it seemingly being this cis-heteropatriarchal system, I don’t know, however you would say that, is, I feel, used against queer trans people and in terms of us being made to seem maladaptive, there's something wrong with us, we're not real or fake, or we're some modern thing, which is, of course, we know that’s not true, we’ve been, you know, everywhere forever- (...) I feel like, as trans people, we're just constantly being gaslit by people, and it’s baffling. Human beings are the only species that are, you know, ridiculous enough to seem to have a huge problem with trans folks, you know?"
