Pageboy: A Memoir

Formative moments, good and bad, stories of discovering sexuality and gender, surviving abuse and heartbreak, making true and long-lasting friends, finding family. 
Dichotomy of acting allowing for an outlet, an escape, while the toxic elements of Hollywood reinforce cis heteronormativity to a degree that ensures homophobia, predatory behaviour, and a narrow interpretation of how an apparently female presenting person might be allowed to look. 
I could wish for a few more bright moments on the page, but I think Page is still working through things. Hopefully writing this book helped. 
I don't know if I can fully explain what this book means to me, as I'm still figuring things out, on a different trajectory. I am grateful for its existence, for the bravery it takes to share so much that is deeply personal.
