On December 1, 2020, Page came out as transgender on his social media accounts, specified his pronouns as he/him and they/them, and revealed his new name, Elliot. GLAAD spokesperson Nick Adams stated that Page "will now be an inspiration to countless trans and non-binary people". His wife Emma Portner expressed support for him coming out on the same day on her Instagram account, saying she was "so proud" of Page. Netflix tweeted: "So proud of our superhero! We love you Elliot!" Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and several celebrities, such as Ellen DeGeneres, James Gunn, and Kumail Nanjiani, expressed support for Page on social media after the announcement. In a March 2021 interview, Page revealed that at the time he came out, he had been recovering from undergoing top surgery in Toronto, a process which he described as "not only life-changing but lifesaving". Page also revealed that by the age of nine, "I felt like a boy... I wanted to be a boy. I would ask my mom if I could be someday".
