In Elliot Page s first interview since coming out as trans in December, the actor told Oprah about his mounting pressures and stressors around gender as a performer in TV and movies. One standout moment exemplary of the conversation, via Yahoo News, is Page s memories of fainting while on a press tour for Inception back in 2010. There was so much press and so many premieres all around the world and I was wearing dresses and heels to pretty much every single event, Page said of Inception s media campaign. Those expectations led and also contributed to a recurring pattern of panic attacks, which he says have happened frequently in my life… every single aspect of who you are constantly being looked at and put in a box is a very binary system.
