In new Oprah interview, Elliot Page discusses his "life-saving" transition and the importance of support and resources for trans youth
CBSN
In his first television interview since coming out as transgender, actor Elliot Page said gender affirming health care was "life-saving" and warned of deadly consequences of legislative attacks on the rights of people who are transgender.
In a candid conversation with Oprah Winfrey on her show "The Oprah Conversation" on Friday, Page discussed his difficult journey to coming out, and the relief he has felt since, telling Winfrey he wanted to show how critical adequate resources and healthcare are for transgender individuals. Page came out as transgender in December, and in an interview with Time Magazine in March, he announced that he'd had top surgery. When he spoke with Winfrey on Friday, Page said he now feels more like himself, and that little moments, like when he sees himself in a mirror, lead to "tears of joy."
