I finished Pageboy!

I loved Page's often blunt word choice, and also enjoyed how he jumped through time (though I did get a bit lost at times). But this book was a hard one to read.

There just wasn't much light. Even the more positive relationships described tended to be wrapped up in bad times. So, while I admire Page and do recommend this book, I'd advise you to approach it with caution if you're queer and in a bumpy place.

I'm now reading Pageboy, by Elliot Page. It's interesting to read about his experiences of growing up in Nova Scotia, as I usually only hear about that area through the Scottish Gaelic community.

A bheil fios agaibh gur ann à Alba Nuadh a tha Elliot Page? Tha mi a' leughadh an leabhar aige (Pageboy) agus tha e inntinneach a bhith a' leughadh mun sgìre sin taobh a-muigh saoghal na Gàidhlig.

The last week of wasn't a happy one for me. After some asshole ruined what we set up to celebrate. It was made worse when we learned it was within his rights to express himself, despite the campus having a hate speech rule.

Finally healing from that, someone I know (who I thought respected me) started misgendering & dead-naming after seeing that I was reading his memoir, .

What follows is a journal entry:

, the biography of is a must read. It needs a huge trigger warning sadly, but reading books about the trans experience is important and should be mandatory reading for everyone. I am greatful that he was able to put it all into this book.

Trans rights are human rights!

Pageboy d'Elliot Page. Un livre très touchant et sincère. Si des lecteurs ont pu trouver maladroit le récit non chronologique et certaines digressions, je trouve au contraire que ce côté kaléidoscopique offre une forte une impression. L'acteur raconte sans fard les dynamiques familiales toxiques et la difficulté de découvrir sa dysphorie de genre dans un milieu culturel moins progressiste qu'il veut le laisser croire

In Elliot Page's memoir, "Pageboy," he tells the story of coming out — twice — and how that saved his life. It's also the story of Hollywood: Rancid, abusive, a place where more acting is done off-set than on. Here, The Guardian's Simon Hattenstone talks to him about the book, his new production company, and his experience of gender euphoria.
