Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth
Seth LISTENS during his interviews. He rarely interrupts and basically lets his guests discuss what it is they are there TO discuss.
the host who does none of the above and is an attention-hungry embarrassment rhymes with gallon.
He’s hands down the best late night host. And it’s not even close.
You mean he actually conducts an interview by asking good questions, listening to the answers, and then responding to those answers rather then sounding like he’s checking off questions on a check list WITHOUT hustling his guest to play stupid games which are nothing but filler?????
Elliott face is still very delicate and feminine and I wish him nothing but the best but any career moving forward is going to be so very difficult.
@@jjmah7 I personally think Conan is a better late night host in terms of comedy, but Seth does fantastic in interviews.
The Amber Ruffin show is also as good as this show, she's never had guests on tho, as far as I know.
“Do you feel loved?” “Yeah” “good because you are” was such a sweet scene
It was my favorite!
This was so sweet, especially coming from diego
Yeah, I was actually fascinated by what they did. He gets his hair cut, comes out to the siblings and they basically go, "Huh. Ok. Cool. So let's get back to business." I don't think I've seen many LGBTQIA+ storylines that skip the angst like that. Kind of refreshing, to be honest. I mean, obviously not everyone gets immediately accepted like that, but this is a fantasy series, and a teachable moment for a lot of people. This is what someone transitioning COULD look like when approached with love and acceptance. It doesn't HAVE to be a big deal. The only reason it's seen as a big deal is because bigots have made a big deal of it to begin with.
Are you brain damaged?
@@wordforger righttt omg i was so relieved when they didn’t make it such a huge deal
Seth's Audience deserves a gold medal. They just sat quietly till the end and let Elliot and Seth have a true and meaningful conversation without applauding and laughing like jackals at every small thing.
You do realize the show tells the audience when and how to react? It's all scripted. Lol
Silence can also express confusion or disapproval too. I guess we can all hear silence as we wish?
@@authenticmind you are right. The interpretation of the silence is subjective.
@@authenticmind Everyone involved in this exchange was clearly confused on a fundamental level. Silence is merely an outward manifestation of the awkward nature of this cumbersome discussion.
the audience on fallon and colbert are the absolute worst, they applaud at every little fucking thing that’s said by the host or the guest lol, it’s so annoying and has often interrupted and stopped many other bits from proceeding due to them having to pause for the applause.. i know i’m europe and other places the audience always waits until the end to applaud, while here in america the audience feel as if they absolutey need to applaud at everything said to show agreeing when that’s not necessary at all lmao
Don't know why, but I cannot perceive legit happiness in that voice, but a tremendous struggle not to cry.
It's just anxiety
Taking testosterone makes the voice croaky for a while, it’s pretty common for people that undergo this to have at least a short period of sounding like this. Certainly doesn’t mean that they’re trying not to cry, they’re essentially just going through a second puberty and that affects their voice.
@@breejean7705 She has a mental illness.
Absolutely. This is a travesty, not a triumph. Page is essentially the subject of a Mengele-esque experiment.
Because she's mentally insane and people keep feeding her lies that she's actually a man.
This feels like a very important interview - Seth's ability to listen and respond with empathy is his genius!
Yeah i was thouroughly impressed with how valuable that interview was. I will be sharing it with many.
what are you on about, if you re not a bot it is very sad
@@jellyjamjello wtf lol, you share tv interviews, how lonely are you
Feels like? The way she feels like a boy? 😂
@@balduccioliv you’re the only other sane one around here
Elliot's voice sounds to be in the mid-way stage of HRT, when it's cracking like going through a second puberty. His facial bone structure is also changing to a masculine one due to the testosterone treatments. I've watched numerous FTM transition videos (I'm not even trans, just intrigued by the transition process), but it's surreal seeing an established actor going through it on screen. Good for him, he's just living his life and in a happier place.
Well, her voice has always sounded kinda like that.

Amen.
Seth is such a considerate and welcoming interviewer.
the bestest
All late show hosts just repeat whatever the publicist wants them to say.
I agree. He handled the interview on a sensitive topic (for Elliott, as well as his audience), with grace and understanding. His questions were respectful and Elliott’s answers were educational & enlightening (at least for this middle aged CIS woman). I will always miss Ellen Page, but am excited for Elliott’s future. He’s an amazing actor, and one of the strongest human beings out there. I’m very proud of his evolution.
He got big compassion energy.
Absolutely. He and Trevor Noah are the best.
I appreciate the tone of this interview. No harm in discussing things seriously, no matter how uncomfortable it is to be as vulnerable about the journey as Elliot has been. What a lovely interview.
it's sickening people will accept and celebrate her mentall illness and mutilation. This doctrine people quote about DSD is from the mind of a confirmed pedophile john money.
He was a sicko, and has spread his sickness. what an evil man
@user-ok1xq5qm9t Based on that response, I'd put you in an asylum either way. Have fun existing in a world full of nuance you little baby.
@user-ok1xq5qm9t Idiot
I love how Seth is very sensitive and genuine about his questions. He makes it sound so hes not pressing and his tone says that Elliot doesn’t have to answer if he doesn’t want to.
Exactly! That's how I deal with Dementia patients in ER.

What I like most is that it's clear that the tone of the interview was set in advance and it wasn't a "Gotcha!" piece. He was given an option and chose this one.
well yes, that's how late night shows work. there's a rehearsal and if all goes well, the entire show is known in advance.
Anyone who likes this garbage late night show is clearly being paid to promote the show positively.
@@DMOWAIVERS Does that include You?? You are here commenting on this show that is very well made, i live them all...
Jimmy kimmel, Jimmy fallon, seth meyers, & my show aswell..😁😉😎
I can’t see Seth doing anything sinister like that
Seth being cool about it is nice, Elliot getting to be himself is nice, but reading the comments and noticing the vast majority of them being nice, that's great!
probably guessing due to the fact we are all decent human beings here thats why we identify with seth as we want better for all, not just a select few and fall for the insane generalizations made. If this was say on a fox news or something well.. lol.. but i dont think elliot ever would anyways haha but you know what i mean.
@@Ultimita01 With Elliot, Fox wouldn't know what hit 'em. :)
She's a great actress. Almost convinced me she was a boy.
@@ryfelstone2788 thanks for defining your phobia. You probably are one of those that call people groomers
All these comments are screened for negativity and dissent.
As a heterosexual man, I enjoy people being who they want to be and not feeling afraid.
As a man I think your less of a man than I
@@DamedGhostStorywhy?
@@DamedGhostStory Holy based
A family member was struggling with self-destructive behavior for years and years. Then, he realized he is gay, and since embracing that has become a happy, normal person! Back then, I was a bit of a homophobe, but seeing him truly happy for the first time changed my outlook on the subject. As Elliot says, "we are ALL on the same team."
Gotta say -- as someone who's seen far too many of my friends go homeless or get banned from coming home for the holidays -- I'm proud of you for having the self reflection to evolve and change in order to accept him for who he is. I can tell you that definitely meant all the difference in the world to him. He's not hurting anyone, and he's happy. I'm glad you see it that way too.
👍 Generally, those with (unfounded) fears and prejudices have just never been introduced to the LGBTI+ community. Once they have, they are typically a little surprised they ever held their views.
@@peternixon1460 unless you introduce them to perverted pride parades and drag queens twerking for children.
We were all a bit homophobic back then. Before we had to actually think critically about it. :)
@@Steve2Carla Phobic…yeah, right
I love how Seth handled this interview. He didn't just say, 'oh you're so brave', then pretend like nothing happened, he actually asked real and serious questions. Elliot's answers were thoughtful and sincere.
They were attention seeking and desperate
@@dr.wolfstar1765 Nope, that's what your comment is. Projection much?
I love the show. I wonder if they ask the guest what sort of subjects they want to speak about, so as to not throw curve balls, or make them feel uncomfortable.
If that's the situation, i think is very cool that Elliot Page wanted to open up about it.
freak
@@Miuranger1 Care to elaborate or provide any context for your comment?
Honestly crying over Viktor's siblings' reactions to his coming out. Elliott's voice! He seems so much happier. Seth is perfect for an interview like this because he doesn't constantly interrupt.
It’s so precious!
Looks are deceiving.
Seth is a great interviewer, doesn’t over step, interrupt and shows compassion!
And although she was and Elliot is involved in the world of portraying characters......I always got the impression that they were never that comfortable with 'having to show your life story' in interviews or public events.
So as well as coming out as gay and now as trans he is *also* expected to be articulate and expansive in public (interviews).
Personally it's the second part that would freak me out.
Being a different gender status or sexuality from what most people tend to be? No problem.
* Having to talk in public, on stage at awards, on TV * . As if I know the right words? Nooooooo thank you. 😄
@@Tao_Tology It helps to have mental issues.
I’m a conservative, but the amount of hatred in this comment section disgusts me. Elliot is a grown ass adult who made a decision on how he wanted to live his life, as adults have the right to do. If you made a decision about your life, how would you feel if someone singled you out and didn’t respect that decision? Do what you will with your own life and I will respect that (unless you decide to be a serial killer or something along those lines). Let Elliot do what he wants with his. He’s not hurting anyone by pursuing happiness.
People seems to be afraid of something they don't understand, that's just our primal instincts. They think that Page somehow threatens their lives by being a transgender person (I don't know how so).
Of course she can do what she likes but I don’t respect blatant mental illness. Nor will I confide in it.
Wow, I never thought I'd agree with someone who began their comment with, "I'm a conservative", but you're 100% right. Live and let live.
You don’t have to lie about being conservative to get your point across. They’re not gonna listen either way.
Thank you for this. Refreshing to hear; consenting adults can do what they want.
I was hesitant to start reading comments, because I thought "Oh great, here comes the hateful vitriol."
I am most pleasantly surprised.
I'm so happy for Elliot. And I can't wait for Season 3!
Big same, so often the comments section is just radioactive waste, especially with "controversial" topics - I'm so happy to see all the support! ❤️❤️❤️
You mean Ellen Page. There is nothing to hate because there is an objective reality known as biology. Ellen Page is still a wonderful actress.
@@walnoemispoyt5604 the very LEASt you could do is respect Elliot's name and pronouns. It's really not that hard to be a decent person.
@@walnoemispoyt5604 What's so difficult about saying Elliot, He and Actor instead. It doesn't hurt anyone to do it and it makes the person happy regardless of biology, which btw I'm 99% sure has proven or atleast has pretty solid evidence that the brains of trans people like myself don't match up with their bodies. Essentially biologically we've been born the wrong way and we can't change that part of our brains but we can change our bodies so we're doing exactly that to make us feel better about who we are and as I said it doesn't hurt anyone, only makes us happier to feel comfortable in our own skin. No matter how you feel about biology, I imagine you'd be upset if people misgendered you on purpose so take that in to consideration when you do it to others. It's all very simple when it comes down to being a decent human being.
@@not_you_i_dont_even_know_you fine but you have to respect conservatives, free speech, and the second amendment… can you ?
He’s such a gracious, thoughtful guy in every interview I see. Seth, thanks for giving him room to talk.
Still looks like a chick

I'm grateful you have him to look up to. Blessings on your journey to your self.
What makes you a male?
@@artistaurbana9712 None of your damn business.
@@lyricessence What is a woman?
This is truly one of the most respectful interviews I’ve seen. Seth never interrupted Elliot, he let him talk, he asked unique questions but never overstepped or simply asked about him coming out and his surgeries. Not to celebrate Seth for the bare minimum, but that’s great to see coming from a cis man in his 40s. It’s so scary and difficult being a trans child/teenager, hearing Elliot Page gives me so much hope.
💕
What a nice and warm backhanded compliment.
Sooner or later, we are all only human.
This is exactly what I thought too. Way too many interviews focus on surgeries and genitalia. Seth is a class act!
"that’s great to see coming from a cis man in his 40s". Its funny how those who don't want to be judged for who they are are so quick to judge people for who they are. You need to realize when you make statements like that, you have put people on the defensive that could and would be allies. The equation is never as simple as man in his 40's = bigot.
I’m a trans man who transitioned 6 years ago. Hearing Elliott’s voice sent me right back to when I was where he is in his transition now. Such an amazing time in a person’s life and I am so glad he can experience that happiness
I’m curious, do you mean this is the “puberty” phase of Elliott’s voice and it’s still continuing to drop/change? Cuz I was kind of wondering that already and then I saw ur comment which seemed to reinforced that idea… Sorry if this is a dumb/intrusive question btw, just not sure exactly how the voice thing works - I know testosterone has an affect on it and there’s the additional component of sort of learning to speak lower/deeper, but I wasn’t sure how long it takes to “find your voice” so to speak…
_(Pls excuse my ignorance btw 🫢…._
_I really hope my comment didn’t come off as rude or anything, but if it did I apologize!!!)_
i too would like to know the answer for the “puberty” as i am pre-t. it would be super relieving to hear information from someone who has experienced it
You used to be a girl? I’m not making fun. Your picture is hard to see.
Can I be a tin can? If Page can be a man I wanna be a tin can!

People in the comments are so hateful they're truly digusting. Not an ounce of empathy, just hate.
you calling others truely disguesting does not do a lot for you to seperate from the other haters
Yes Elliot! Let’s focus on trans joy and not one trans suffering for once! So many hateful people want to reduce trans existence to pain, but there is so much happiness in learning who we are and embracing ourselves.
literallyyyy!!! i know that hatred for lgbt is a big thing we deal with, but we also deal with regular conflict 🏳️⚧️💋
future generations will laugh at us, just like we laugh at 16th and 17th century wigs, why the hell do we think it's okay to change gender, a person is confused, he has masculine or feminine qualities, but believes that if he is different from other people of the same sex, then perhaps he was born in the wrong body... There is so much wrong with this point of view, if you do not fit into the cultural idea of man or woman, this does not mean something is wrong with you, you just do not you know how to identify yourself in the body that nature has given you, we need to teach people who are so deeply entangled in themselves to develop these qualities within the framework of reality and not change their real sex to an artificial one, the chromosomes remain the same and you are not at all who you want to be, you are something incomprehensible, amorphous. P.S To all SJW idiots, stfu.
The person still has feminine facial features and expressions. The eyes have a feminine expression to them. Still has the brain of a female using both left and right sides. Males use mainly the left side so that’s why they have more difficulty multitasking than females. It’s not about hate but what is right and wrong.
@@louisraya1748 - Can't Elliot just be Elliot without your criticizing?
@@louisraya1748 None of what you just said is even close to scientifically accurate lmao
Elliot Page said what I have believed for a long time. We all have so many similarities, let's celebrate those instead of fighting over what's different. I admire Elliot so much, and I can't wait for the next season of Umbrella Academy!
Love that show too, so happy it’s not stayed canceled! It’s an Awesome show. And you r so right about celebrating our differences instead of showing hating toward differences
That show is amazing.
I took a Lyft earlier today. He was an older white cis het guy, very little demographically in common with me. But in that shirt ride we shared stories about growing up watching horror movies. I felt a little boost in my step after. I imagine that if we were curious about each other instead of focusing on negative differences we could all experience more little moments like that. As an RN, my science training indicates that dopamine is very powerful in producing feelings of pleasure. Whenever a human has an interaction with another human we get rewarded with a little dopamine. It's why we are social creatures.
But isn't Page planting a flag on how non-similar she believes we all are? She's medically changing her healthy body to conform to a very rigid social system of gender roles. She seems to think the differences are so inherent it requires changing bodies, rather than subverting oppressive expectations, like being a female sex symbol for the male gaze.
I can't wait to still not watch it!
Elliot, I don’t know you. I’ll probably never meet you. It’s unlikely that you’ll see this random comment. But, with all of my heart, I want you to know how fiercely proud I am of you. You’ve managed a difficult transition very beautifully. I can’t wait to see more great things happen for you.
She had her breasts removed surgically...you should be ashamed that you are supporting this Frankenstein reality.
Amen 💖
You can’t change your sex; it’s impossible like changing your race. I hope she finds happiness within herself as well.
I agree! To deal with something so personal while also in the public eye has to have been difficult, and I'm glad he's doing well and moving forward with his career.
🤣
I love that umbrella academy embraced him and even adjusted his character so that he can be fully who is on the big screen as well. Getting to finally be yourself after suffering with gender dysphoria is so beautiful, and I'm sure being able to share that trait in your role is also a huge weight lifted. I can imagine still acting as a woman was kinda weird for a bit but he handled it with such grace. Elliot page deserves all the things. He's glowing.
Stopped watching the show because of this it was confusing enough already, also actings not real and people have to pretend it's apart of the job description and if "his" emotions didn't allow for that then the directors had no choice but to go along. Only saying "he" out of respect but he will always have XX chromosomes like all other women on this planet
Embraced him? You mean embraced they?
@@drubreeze8803 I have to agree. Life is so confusing as it is - SMH
@drubreeze8803 well just like the show, you don't have to watch this either. The world is full of enough negativity without adding unnecessary comments and judgements to people who are now content and happy. Is this affecting you in some personal way that you just can't stand? Most likely no. Being kind is free. Maybe get over it. What people do in their personal life has nothing to do with you.
@@bethany7785 yes but he brought his personal life into his work life and forced people to either accept it or watch another show, personal life should stay personal and business should stay business
So true. Extremely hard times can definitely be a recipe to deepen one’s empathy. Which is a lovely gift to obtain if a person is forced through bad times.
She is going through hard times... because she has a mental illness and nobody is helping her, and those trying to help her are labelled as phobes and villianized whilst others are enabling her mental illness and just allowing her to suffer
I needed this.
The people who does not have much or come from a poor background, always seem to be the most generous.
Seth come out. We know you want to .. its fine except one thing.. there is no female version of the name Seth. Sethina? :)
Not very empathetic to encourage someone to butcher themselves
This is hands down the most wonderful thing I've ever watched. He's so present and warm, and bursting with his sense of self. ❤

First time I’ve heard Seth. Impressive. Well spoken and respectful interview.
First time seeing his show?!? You are missing out! He’s amazing!
Nah. He's another leftist groomer. Nothing new about that.
@@chancemoody8448 He’s nothing special.
@@MS-ns2pj dude 100% agree. I guess the word ‘amazing’ was a little dramatic. He’s not for everyone. Like people who choose to ignore the truth…Or completely incoherent.
@@chancemoody8448 In the first three sentences I thought you were ok, but then it took a turn with the last two. You fell off a cliff.
Opinions are not facts and therefore they do not qualify as the truth. I run into many people (almost exclusively on the left) that do not understand the difference between an opinion and a fact. For example, I think that pineapple on pizza is disgusting. Pizza is savory to me. I like it meaty, salty, and savory. Adding pineapple to that mix completely destroys it. This is an opinion. If I were to say that some people enjoy pineapple on their pizza I would be stating a fact. My opinion is not a fact. It is not the truth.
I have my moments where I’m not exactly clear in what I’m saying, but I do ok. Coherency is very important in the USMC. Fortunately I graduated from high school and then went on to earn my degrees while serving in the Marines. That primary and secondary education really helped me become what has been described as an outstanding Marine. During my 20 years I was able to rise through the ranks to Master Gunnery Sergeant. After serving my 20, I was honorably discharged. I still needed to support my family and so I went through the police academy and then joined the Sheriff’s Department in my county. Based on my prior military experience, I was fast tracked to Sergeant and I am called upon to handle more dangerous situations and other assignments.
As I said, Seth is nothing special.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
1 Corinthians 15:3 that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ❣️
I grew up in a pretty religious conservative household and still hold some semi-conservative beliefs. I sometimes find myself subconsciously resisting the newness of things (couldn’t wrap my head around the importance of pronouns for the longest time). But even so, I’ve never been able to understand how some people have the audacity to tell others what to do with their bodies and minds. Like let’s say you’ve never met a trans person and the whole thing is foreign to you… that’s fine. It’s ok to be curious or even worried or scared when you learn about something so different from YOUR norm. But when that fear and worry turns to anger, discrimination, and threats… it’s just wrong. There’s no gray area. Queer/trans people don’t need our permission to live their lives with dignity and rights. It was NEVER our place to dictate whether their existence was right or wrong to begin with. As long as someone isn’t putting you in harm’s way, there’s no excuse to be hateful towards them (being uncomfortable or losing control doesn’t count). Live your own life and leave people to theirs.
👏👏👏
Well said!
I think most peoples problem with it is that there seems to be an over correction. Just thinking "they can do whatever they want with their life, it's fine and doesn't bother me none" isn't enough. They skipped right passed acceptance of transgender people and went to "call them amazing brave heroes and put them on a pedestal above everyone else or else you're a bigot".
Women’s sports
@@ExplosionChimp I mean.. the only people saying "stunning and brave" is people mocking them.. I'd say the over-correction works both ways. Where as Christian people should do what they want with their life and beliefs, but don't bother other people with it. They skipped passed the part where they themselves can't "sin" and judge, and started going around accusing everyone else. Christian beliefs shouldn't affect me, because I don't believe in them. The bible is a guideline for them, not me.
His voice has gotten so much deeper since the filming of S3! Congrats, King!
Edit to add: As an adoptee who has a special place in my heart for the movie Juno, the dysphoria only makes the story more compelling. I appreciate so much all the hard work and effort he put into that role, because it just goes to show just how messy AND BEAUTIFUL this thing called life is.
Hormones has a lot to do with it,
S3 was filmed between February and August 2021. He probably only went on T after or near the end, otherwise Viktor’s voice would change too much between episodes or even scenes.
Yes, because a simple cosmetic change, style of dress & voice change is what makes a man a man.

Thank you for sharing yourself with us, Elliot. Sending you love and light and grateful that you are a human being on this planet 💖
Even as a hetero cis woman, I cried at what you said about the huge weight of expectations in society about how we're supposed to live our lives. The binary norms really do affect us all, and I'm grateful to you for seeing that and for speaking about it publicly. I'm looking forward to all of us connecting in compassion for the joy and freedom that are possible and the pain and suffering that we have made it through to be our authentic selves instead of cookie-cutter people.
As an older white (Caucasian) male, I don't have the past life experiences with knowing anyone who has struggled with gender identity issues. I have to believe that I have, at some point, come across those who had to keep this a deep secret. I regret that in my ignorant past, I had to have made some pretty cringe worthy comments. But I am trying to grow as a human and not force myself to feel like I have to understand. I know it's not me who has to live their lives, but I DO have an obligation to treat others with dignity and respect. Elliott is the same person he was a couple years ago before he transitioned, but actually more his true self maybe. Good on you Elliott! I look forward to seeing this new season of The Umbrella Society.
We need more people like you in this world - people that are respectful of others, that treat everyone with dignity and respect regardless of our differences. Kudos to you.
Steven- it's great to see that you've continued to learn and grow right into older adulthood. So many people shut down while still in young adulthood and stop bothering to learn new things or challenge their own viewpoints. They have a set of beliefs that they stick to no matter what, and they only expose themselves to information that confirms those beliefs.
@@katiehorneshaw995
Those that struggle with gender identity are not realizing that there is no identity.
There is only consciousness.
What are they transitioning into? There is still the base layer of consciousness.
The feeling of being this or that is something that arises in consciousness.
What we have in this case is a woman on steroids. Don't delude yourself.
The joy he feels is seriously infectious. That's really the core, the joy. Like, whatever weird comments strangers make, he's present and authentically himself, and nobody can take that away or diminish it.
I don't get it, but I'm glad he's happy.
Right? I caught myself smiling almost the whole time cause I could just feel how happy he is. It's beautiful!
wtf did they do to her shave her voicebox? and jeez imagine being that idiot seth meyers pretending that it isn't the freak show that it is. a 5ft 100lb skeleton larping as a man while wearing some of the most unmasculine clothes and jewelry.

I cant wait to see Eliot in more shows/films and I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW SEASON OF THE UMBRELA ACADEMY
Agree, of all the late night hosts (besides maybe Colbert) he's the only that could pull off an interview like this.

@@lazarljubenovic864 you know…cause they/them is also used as a plural? You really thought you won some points here or something
I'm an admirer of what a great actor Elliot is. And on a more personal level, I transitioned FtM just a couple of years before him - albeit at a much older age. I'm so delighted to see someone find _that joy_ of feeling at home in their own self and their own skin, with so much more of their life still left. That smile of his says so much.
Congratulations on living YOUR authentic truth!! You’re amazing. Super proud of you!!
I hope your continued journey/ transition brings you joy. I suffer from severe depression and I imagine the joy Elliot and you feel must be like the relief I experience when my depression goes into remission. It's like the colors have returned to the world, every interaction (even with a cashier) feels pleasurable because your connecting momentarily with another human. The world feels less dangerous and dark. Did I mention the increase in the amount of energy I feel? Is it like that?
@@edwardmontoya50 hugs to you, friend. I hope the color and light stay in your world forevermore. You deserve all the good in the world.
@@edwardmontoya50 Oh, that's such a good way of putting it. The color, the energy, yes. Just _noticing_ things - flowers, the smell of grass, birds chirping instead of being too bound up to open up and fully interact with the world.

Glad you are both home ❤️

Elliot's courage and grace are palpable, thanks to genuine humanity on both ends of the microphone. Great segment.
So brave of a multi-millionaire actress. She will always be an actress and a female biologically. Always going to be Ellen Page in my mind
This is such a small detail but so huge, I noticed that when Seth is talking/listening, he has his whole body turned away from the audience and to Elliot. He is giving all of his attention to his guest, rather looking for a reaction from the audience or interrupting every 5 seconds...this is awesome. Hes focusing on the talk in talk show, rather than the show part. Wish more hosts were like this :)
She has xx chromosomes ....so she born as a woman and she will die woman!!! Biology kills ideology!!!
I get the feeling he doesn't have an ego problem, he doesn't make it about him. cool guy
@Some Guy his name is Elliot, there’s no need for the deadnaming. Have some respect
@Salvador Ayala The interview discusses Elliot coming out as transgender, clearly they knew Elliot's name and correct pronouns. It was a disrespectful unnecessary comment
@Salvador Ayala His pronouns are he/him which are in line with his GENDER. His sex is irrelevant.
.I don’t think we are “obsessed” with the binary. I think it’s just what has been the main situation in most of the world since the beginning of time , so it takes time for people to adjust to the alternative. Patience and understanding is required from both sides.
I really appreciate that Seth didn't talk over Elliot and was respectful. As a Trans Male, seeing Elliot so happy makes me hopeful about my own journey.
Lol
What is trans male? Is that a guy that pretends to be a girl or a girl that pretends to be a guy? Your gender is determined by the 23rd chromosome, not how you feel or what interests you have....women are not limited from feeling the same emotions that men feel and vice versa....identifying with a stereotype that everyone knows is WRONG, means you are identifying with the wrong thing.....
@@philollenberg2494 but masculinity has nothing to do with being an ACTUAL man.....the gay guys on Will and Grace had NO masculinity but they were 100% men. If anything, her refusal to accept reality and demand what she wants regardless actually fits the female stereotype....
Same, and the fact that his transition is being handled well by his work and a large part of the media as well, this means the culture truly is shifting to being more accepting, it makes me want to halt the thoughts of the world burning.
He didn't speak over her because hes treating her like a woman. Cause no matter what she does she will always be a woman.
I think one of the most misunderstood facets people don’t know or understand is that trans people, like Elliot are the same as they were before, just a happier more whole version of themselves. So proud of Elliot…I just think of ALL the people he is helping by sharing his story…Awesome!
Except they don't look happier at all.
Actually, most trans are deeply depressed on a clinical level.

Hormones + surgery etc makes her into a ‘man’. Not a biological man or a naturally born man, but a ‘man’ rather than a ‘woman’. Nobody is forced to be attracted to a transgender or even speak to them but any good person will accept somebody who fixes their issue they were born with, and judge them for their character rather than the issue they were born with.

Didn't seem much different to me to be honest 🤔 Deeper voice but still the same 🤷♀️
Cudos to Elliot to talk about his experience. The emotion is very close to the surface - but brave!
Seconded on the applause for the interview. It's totally normal to go on press tours for new projects, but to have this extremely personal experience be the main talking point likely for every interview has got to be taxing. I think Seth did a good job focusing on the positives and the growth, though that one question did slip through about those who would respond with hate. I could almost feel second-hand anxiety from the litany of personal questions, but it's also really great to see trans individuals getting to be heard on the public stage and hopefully these things will become less novel and more accepted by the general public.

Sooooo amazing to see Elliot so comfortable and confident. Bravo, well done my friend.
As a Canadian I'm a bit biased and I'm incredibly proud of Elliot Page. He's shown courage and humility ever since coming out transgender and so glad to see the show and it's writers weave his change into his character in the Umbrella Academy show!
I’m a simple man. I see Elliot in an interview and I watch that immediately.
Ever since he did the interview a couple years back where he used the time to talk about issues in NS, I have mad respect.
All I see is a selfish person. As Ellen Page, she came out as a lesbian, looked healthy and got married to a beautiful, loving wife. Then she proceeded to betray said wife by completely disregarding her feelings and transitioning into a male. Divorce was inevitable. Now Elliot Page looks like a pre-pubescent boy with a gaunt face and a voice that sounds like his throat has gone through a cheese grater. What a mess...

I loved everything about this interview. When Seth turned to Elliot, just literally turned his whole body to ask questions, you can tell he was PRESENT in that moment.

Yeah, I feel like that wasn't Viktor, the character, part of a show or a script. That moment seemed like it was just Elliot talking, especially based on the reaction in that moment. The way he stared into his reflection felt genuine, like he was having a moment 🥺
I feel the same, though. Before I accepted myself, it felt like something was always missing, a missing puzzle piece. Then I found it once I found myself. It's beautiful.

@@user-ie9rq6rd7n They don’t support stereotypes. I know many feminine trans men and masculine trans women. Being transgender is not about gender expression. It’s about gender identity. Their gender expression may follow that identity in what you would consider stereotypical ways or not. Consider this though: If I was born a woman and if I only wear pink and dresses, would you be upset that I was being stereotypical when I am just dressing how I like? If so, that’d be very odd to me.
If a trans woman decides to wear dresses and be traditionally feminine because she likes it and it makes more people recognize her for who she is, especially after being prevented from wearing dresses, being traditionally feminine, and being the woman she is for decades, I don’t see how that’s wrong. Gender expression is a matter of choice and preference, and it is not the same thing as gender identity.

The graceful and gentle, yet matter of fact way that Viktor's transition was written was a such a pleasure to watch. I couldn't help but tear up each time the other characters reacted and/or interacted with Viktor - the subtleties of acceptance that were woven into each of those moments were so emotive, and portrayed the unconditional love and acceptance we all crave for from our family's/friends. Superb too is the way in which it was folded into the whole storyline and Vanya & Viktor's arc of discovery of true self..
It was after the fact dialogue added in to hit the talking points required. There was nothing elegant or graceful about it. It was poorly written, poorly acted, and clearly a we did what we had to do to make the actor happy moment.

An interview that isn’t all about sound bites. Genuine questions with an opportunity for Elliott to express his personal views.

Was so awesome to see your transition both on and off screen! 🥰🥰🥰 Also seeing general acceptance of trans people in mainstream media is just so heartening as well, I could cry my eyes out because like he said it's just so simple and people could just try to accept each other!
He deserves the best
@@elenacarra5863 no she does not deserve the best...she'll be needing a psychiatrist in no time flat
How did you spell his name two different ways and still spell it incorrectly both times
@h smith yes you're right
I feel so sorry for this person
I know right? It has to be for attention
@@blinkerz4676 physically transitioning and going on testosterone is very financially and physically taxing and complicated, I don’t think they would go through all that just for attention.
@@OrcaLights Im pretty sure that Elliot Page, a famous actor, can afford the procedures and necessary equipment for something that is so popular especially in 2023.
@@blinkerz4676 oh absolutely, I’m sure money isn’t an issue for them. But finances aside, it’s very painful and physically taxing, not to mention impossible to fully reverse after a certain point. I find it hard to believe they would permanently alter their sexual organs and permanently deepen their voice if they actually want to be a girl.
@@blinkerz4676 unless we’re accusing them of having Munchausen’s, it just seems like too much work and too much permanent change for someone who isn’t trans and just wants attention. I mean even if they said one day “hey I’m de-transitioning cause I was wrong,” that’s a lot of social backlash, their breasts are now gone after a long, painful, dangerous surgery and will now have to have another long, painful, dangerous surgery to get fake breasts, and their vocal chords will be permanently altered and they will forever sound like a man, which would really make their job as an actor harder if they’re presenting as a woman with a man’s voice. Not only that, but their body will be permanently changed to be more manly, with less curves and broader shoulders, which would also give them a huge disadvantage in the acting field as a woman with an already masculine voice.
I can't imagine how hard it is to be open about Elliot's transformation. He's so brave and open about it.
🤦🏻♂️
You’re delusional. It’s a mutilated woman
Aaaaand Elliot is still a woman 🤭
@@martinmartins7703 Who are you trying to fool? The other douchenozzles already agree with you, and the rest of us grew up already.
Can’t we just let people live. I’m so, so happy for this person to finally feel whole and full of joy. As long as someone isn’t hurting anyone else, just let humans live being themselves. Be kind. Full. Stop.
Hundreds of thousands of little girls want to amputate both of their perfectly healthy breasts because they have been misled to believe that body dysmorphia, a mental/emotional affliction, can be fixed with surgeries and hormones. This woman is a walking advertisement for surgeons and endocrinologists and pharmaceutical companies, and yes, they are hurting many children
Let people be people whatever, but knowing about transition plans and stuff.. Shouldn't have taken role of Vania in UA..
After transition they had to implement that in series.. And I don't like mixing someone's real life with cinema. Felt poorly improvised.. Yeah I know unpopular comment lol
Ever seen Juno? She will always be woman in that. She got so scared from that movie, she said, im just gonna become Michael Cera 🤣
well maybe she can keep a more private life than try to force her goofy sexuality to every1.
@Magic Frog teah thats what they are haha. Attention seeking penguins.
This is a woman not a man! I don’t give a crap what anyone says.
no one gives a crap what u have to say either
And that's why you will forever be alone
@@translivesmatter9063 Lets all be friends, now!!!
@@randalthor6872 You are no friend of mine.
The proper action is to work through mentally why you feel uncomfortable in your body & come to terms with it, not mutilate ones self. Shouldn’t be celebrated
And who gave you the decision on what's proper and what's not?
Wow, his body language during this interview is lovely and so human and gentle. Truly what we need right now. An actual gentleman, lovely genuine.
Both of them one knows they are speaking for a whole group of people and takes care to be open with out being gratuitous. The other is opening the door for us who don't have this directly in our lives to hear, grow and understand.
LMAO
Hahahahahaha
lol she is an attention seeker,did you not see her go against christians?this idiot thinks people should stop believing because she belives that christianity is trans and homophobic
I look forward to seeing more of him. There's a lot of silence around the existence trans men. Most conversation about transness tends to focus on trans women
That's largely because bigots focus on us. Trans women's visibility is largely the result of malice.
I'm glad for Elliot. I was a fan of his work early on and my LGBTQdar was pinging me everytime I saw him onscreen. I haven't gotten a chance to see any of his latest work so it was cool to hear his true voice (both aurally and figuratively)for the first time.
more of them*
@@jahinakhyar Elliot uses both he/him and they/them
That’s very true and I actually think there’s a backwards misogyny in that. A lot of people subconsciously and incorrectly view trans women as a *man’s* journey. This is why they get more attention than trans men, who are incorrectly viewed as *women* and women tend to get more dismissed.
I have a family member who is trans and I need all the help I can get to be a better ally. This is very good, thank you. And thank you Elliot for being so open and well-spoken.
Me too, a grandchild. I’m crucifying the pronouns…they/them just doesn’t compute in my 70+ brain and correcting me only disturbs my train of thought. Be gentle with those of us who cannot get this speech pattern as we need to be gentle with you and your ‘sex change’. I know wrong phrase but the one I grew up with and I do try. Btw, I went to see Christine Jorgensen speak at Eastern Montana College in the mid 70s. My first intro to trans people. A good speech and an interesting woman. Everyone was polite, listened and thought deeply about her presentation. I resent my daughter giving me the evil eye when I err in my speech. I love my grandchild and want a happy productive life for them. (There I did use the “correct” pronoun. Gosh it is so difficult for me in free flowing speech.)
Better ally haha so cringe
@@karenwaddell9396 my 70+ y.o. mom is gradually coming to terms with they/them pronouns. Please keep trying and don't write yourself off!!!
@@karenwaddell9396 it’s great that you’re trying, but how exactly are you supposed to keep doing that if you criticize anyone who corrects you and use your “70+ brain” as an excuse?
@@peanutbutter4435 She’s 70+. She’s clearly trying. Be gentle and patient. If you’re lucky, one day you might be 70+ and need someone to be gentle and patient with you.
I loved seeing season 4 of TUA also because you cna see how Elliot's transition processed, and how good it looks on him. He still has the same personality because you can't really change it but you can clearly see he's a lot happier and more confident and I really love that for him.
He looks so handsome
discusting

wierd

I'll never know what it feels like or what it takes to go through such a life changing thing, and I fully admire and respect anyone who does. I hope as many people as possible have the greatest support system to make it that much easier for them to just be who they are.
What a beautiful thing to say ❤️
On one hand it's great. The gender dysphoria is relieved, and after 32 years of being an isolated weirdo my family is surprised that I can actually reach out to and talk to them for a change. On the other hand I cannot go outside or post a roommate ad without being immediately dogpiled by dozens of hateful transphobes. Hell the other day I got stalked home and had someone taking photos of me and my house, presumably trying to dox me and say "a t word lives here everybody!" I've got a trans friend one town over who actually got stabbed for entering a bathroom. It's so obnoxious. We just want to be comfortable and safe like everyone else and actually have a chance at life. But the less we "pass" as our gender the harder it is to do that.
And thank you, yes havig supportive family and friends is DRASTICALLY important for transition. So if anyones transitioning and has no support, flee and find new friends, new family. It is the most important thing. Habing actually caring and supportive people around you reduces the self harm rate by what like 90+%? It's remarkably important
