If Elliot himself didn't call identity himself as non binary, then i wouldn't use it.

He described himself as trans and queer. Just use that. Nonbinary would fall under the trans label anyway.

It’s a bit of a weird situation, since while I haven’t seen Page themself state that they are non-binary, many news sources have stated so, including GLAAD, a reliable source on LGBTQ issues. Page hasn’t denied that they’re non-binary, either, so I’m just going to assume they’re non-binary unless they state otherwise.

"Page hasn’t denied that they’re non-binary, either, so I’m just going to assume they’re non-binary unless they state otherwise."

This seems a bit unwise. Like I said, GLAAD's only source on it is a statement by Elliot Page himself, where he never actually claims to be NB. Sure, generally GLAAD is indeed a reliable source, but they still need a proper basis for their claims. So in this case, their source doesn't seem to say what GLAAD claim that it's saying.

Yeah, until Page himself publicly identifies as non-binary (if ever), we should leave it off the page.

You make a point then. We can list them as simply transgender for now, unless Page says otherwise.

I changed the wording to remove the claim that he is nonbinary, linking back to this ATT.

Thanks, mighty. I wouldn't want to edit war. I'll add a commented-out note later tonight.
