Forced to wear a dress
In a recent essay for Esquire, Elliot reflected on the moment he was released. The young life of Juno, the film that in 2007 gave him worldwide fame. There he revealed that the studio that produced it forced him to wear a suit to the opening ceremony.
The world premiere of the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay was at the Toronto Film Festival. At the time, remember, Elliot was still Ellen.

“They made me put on a dress, and… that’s it. And then all the Juno press, all the photo shoots: Michael Cera was wearing pants and sneakers “.
“It’s easy for people to roll their eyes, but you know what? No. It was really extremely, extremely messed up. Regardless of whether I’m trans! I’ve had people apologizing for things: ‘I’m sorry, l ‘I said’ I don’t know, I didn’t know at the time. ‘ It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter if I’m trans or cis. A lot of cis women dress the way I dress. That has nothing to do with that, “Page said.
When Juno’s Young Life was in full swing, Elliot was “locked up, dressed in heels and the whole look”. “It wasn’t fair and I didn’t know how to tell anyone about it,” he said at the time.
