Pageboy: A Memoir

“It often seems like more people step forward to defend being unkind than they do to support trans people as we deal with an onslaught of cruelty and violence.”

I'm going to try to keep this sweet as I don't want to potentially write any spoilers and I find it difficult to write reviews on memoirs.

Elliot Page is someone that I feel like I grew up with, watching from outside. It was eye-opening to read these events on the inside and have an idea of what actually was happening and how Elliot was feeling.

My only critique is that I would've preferred if it was written in chronological order because I feel like it would've flowed better in that way. Apart from that, I found this memoir incredibly moving.

As a member of the trans community, I feel like it's extremely important to have stories like his told, to elevate stories and voices like Elliot's, especially in modern times with the rights of our community being stripped away.

All Elliot and the trans community are asking to do is be themselves. I think it's the bare minimum to give them that.

I am super proud of Elliot and I'm excited to see what comes next for him.
