Eliot Page is Ellen Page. Ellen Page declared herself transgender. Apparently she is playing the part of a male in this movie.
E Paige’s first film that I know of was a mildly amusing teen farce called Juno. It was female then. The next time it popped up on my radar screen was the role of Trina in Trailer Park Boys. Still female! Now full psycho talked about playing the ghost of Achilles.
