Love wears an evening jacket: Elliot Page unleashes rumors about possible new romance with Mae Martin

When Elliot Page revealed to be trans on 1 December 2020 through its social media, Emma Portner, who he married in 2018, publicly expressed his support the next day. A few months later, in January 2021, the two released a statement announcing their amicable separation.

Page, who in his long (and historic) interview for the magazine Times elaborated on the details of his transition and how the pandemic has somehow given him the impetus to take this step, he has become a key figure in the struggle for the rights of the trans community that goes beyond more than necessary representation on our screens. Representation that materialized in the last season of the series The Umbrella Academy, in which her character also begins her transition, an unprecedented decision by the creators. However, on a daily basis, the star uses her social media to call for action, trying to prevent the advancement of anti-trans legislation in the United States, as well as to raise awareness of the situation of trans people, paying particular attention to minors. .

A few days ago, the actor shared some images of his participation in the annual LACMA Art + Film Gala, where he was accompanied by the Canadian comedian and screenwriter Mae Martinprotagonist and non-binary writer of Netflix’s comedy-drama Feel Good, both wearing evening jackets by Gucci. Martin did the same on her Instagram profile, giving us some more information.

In bottom, it is Martin’s publication that gives us the clue of a possible relationship between them, and not only for the affection they show for each other, but also for the love they feel for each other. The hashtag # t4t at the end of the caption, where it also refers to Page as “My King”., sparked an uproar on the internet. T4T or t4t is the term that has been used by the trans community for years to refer to unions of any kind formed exclusively by trans people, as well as trans people trying to connect with another person, although its meaning also includes a ‘broader meaning, which includes the idea of ​​solidarity and mutual intra-community support. The latter use is much less common, so considering the context in which it is used and Martin’s use of affectionate appellations, we could safely say that this is their debut as a couple.

If the relationship is confirmed, it would also be historical, as it would be the first couple formed by two openly queer public figures of which you have news. A real joy and cause for celebration at a time of questioning and regressing the rights of trans people in parts of the United States and the UK, as well as increasing hate speech in countries like Spain, whose trans law it is still in force but in recent months it has received numerous attacks from some political and academic personalities, as well as being the subject of a prolonged disinformation campaign.

We therefore await an official confirmation (which, on the other hand, is not even due to us).
