Elliot Page is pulling back the curtain on homophobia in Hollywood.
Page, who came out as a trans man in 2020 after identifying as a lesbian, detailed a verbal assault in 2014 by an unnamed male actor in his memoir, “Pageboy.” As part of a chapter titled “Famous Butthole at Party,” as excerpted by People magazine, Page wrote about being at a birthday party in Los Angeles where an “acquaintance” questioned his sexuality.
“You aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men,” the actor told Page, adding, “I’m going to frick you to make you realize you aren’t gay.”
Page recalled seeing the male actor at the gym a few days later, where he said, “I don’t have a problem with gay people I swear.”
The “Juno” actor added, “I’ve had some version of that happen many times throughout my life. A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly. These moments that we often like don’t talk about or we’re supposed to just brush off, when actually it’s very awful. I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the shit we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly, particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual. How we navigate that world where you either have more extreme, overt moments like that. Or you have the more, like, subtle jokes.”
Page continued, “[In Hollywood] these are very powerful people. They’re the ones choosing what stories are being told and creating content for people to see all around the world.”
He summed up, “I’m purposely not sharing his name. But he will hear about this and know it’s him.”
Page recently opened up about feeling like he didn’t “exist” prior to transitioning.
“I realize I look different to people now who’ve known me from before, but I’m thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s that person I’ve seen but never thought I’d actually get to see.’ It catches me by surprise sometimes,” Page said. “A friend will simply take a photo and then I get a glimpse, and it just sends this electric thrill through my body, this sort of spark. Because it’s funny — it’s seeing something new, but also not.”
He concluded, “I do feel like I barely made it in many ways.”
Very kind to not out the man who threatened to r*pe her! Maybe he's a bro after all.

30-something year old FtM but still acts like an angsty teenage girl.
So much gymnastics involved. "He is Elliot. He is male. He's best known for playing a pregnant teenage girl in a movie. In his book, he describes how a man tells him you aren't gay, I'm going to frick you to prove you're just afraid of men"

You could near-definitively narrow down the attempted male feminist based purely on the details Page included.
An A lister actor in 2014 who presumably lives in L.A doesn't HUGELY narrow it down, but if you include the fact that this supposed actor, in 2014 in Hollywood, believed he had the capacity to frick a gay woman straight, it pretty much only leaves one actor. Unless some 1950's-era movie star was wandering around that party - Gregory Peck reanimated for the night, say - this is clearly one dude.

These people deserve no respect or recognition. If the story was true, the attempted male feminist should be named and shamed. You don’t tell someone you are going to frick them straight, that’s ridiculous no matter where you stand on the lgbt issue. I wouldn’t protect anyone threatening me regardless of potential consequences, especially if I were already rich and famous. Page should be punished with his male feminist for protecting criminals.

A lot of trains genuinely believe that being gay is a choice, because for them, it was. I've seen that sentiment openly expressed several times in trans majority spaces. Its part of the schism between the T and the rest of the LGB.
