I’m really curious what he thinks about it. On the one hand, his female roles are a big part of his career, and he’s been a solid actor for years. On the other hand, I can totally empathize with just not wanting to see that name ever again.
It’s not the same thing, but we don’t go back and edit credits when actors change their names because of marriage or divorce, but that’s less about their identity as a person and more just that they got married, so not a great example.
Can any trans folks chime in with their thoughts on how to deal with retroactive credits? Doesn’t have to be just film and television, but anywhere that people are credited for their work. Super curious what people think the standard should be.
Sort of, but not really I don’t think. Page didn’t suddenly wake up one day and think: oh, I’m a boy! So altering previous digital works (within the realms of possibility) may better reflect how he had felt for however long he did. If there is a want and a way, there shouldn’t be a reason not to edit the name on currently streaming services.

Erasing the past won’t change it.
