Ellen Page says it’s time to “step up” to support transgender people.
The
32-year-old queer actress says that transgender people are “under attack” as one of the most “marginalised”
groups of people, and believes more needs to be done to protect them.
The
‘Juno’ star decided to speak out after lesbian tennis player Martina
Navratilova was fired from an LGBTQ charity last week for making
transphobic comments against transgender female athletes.
Martina
said: “A man can decide to be female, take hormones if required by
whatever sporting organisation is concerned, win everything in sight and
perhaps earn a small fortune, and then reverse his decision and go back
to making babies.”
And responding to those comments, Ellen
slammed the sporting star for letting history repeat itself, as she
branded Martina’s words as “demonising and dehumanising.”
Page says: “It’s not like people didn’t use the same arguments for
lesbian, gay and bisexual people, but people are also using that
rhetoric to make trans people seem like predators… It’s deplorable.”
It is not just conservatives who continue to hold ignorant views on LGBT+ issues, Page notes:
“I deal with a lot of progressive people, powerful people, who have said ridiculous s**t to me. People need to wake up, they need to educate themselves.”
24 hours after I brought her home, I got a mindblowing job offer. Since I adopted her nine years ago, my life has become an amusement park. She has brought me good luck ever since I took her into my home.
I’m telling you, there’s something about this animal. Good fortune follows her everywhere.
I don’t want to be selfish. I have everything I need and then some. So, I’m sharing her with you.
