So I guess civil rights and equality aren't for everyone.

Black transgender Air Force veteran Vanity Williams shot to death in Houston

Vanity Williams, a 34-year-old Black transgender woman who had recently started nursing school, was shot to death August 3 in the lobby of her apartment building in Houston.

Williams’s friends are remembering her fondly, and they say they don’t know why anyone would want to kill her. But Tristian Sanders, 26, a man who police say was known to Williams, was arrested a week later and charged with murder. She was found in the lobby suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Williams had entered nursing school with the goal of opening a medical spa. She was an Air Force veteran who was dedicated to uplifting the Black community and women.

I have scanned this thread. My thoughts:

Be the happiest you you can be. Your body is yours. Do what you want with it with whomever consents. Be free. Be happy. Live/let live, mind your business, be a good neighbor. A happy neighbor is usually a good neighbor.

Maybe it's still early in his transition, but when I look at Elliot Page I still see "her".

Another ftm actor, Morgan Davies, a cutie btw, doesn't look like a "she" at all.

I suspect there's two factors at play with Elliot that don't apply to Morgan Davies:
1) We've had two decades' worth of performances (from a stint as Mr. Lahey's daughter on Trailer Park Boys to movies like Juno* or Inception) from when he was still pretending to be a girl, and as a man? Well, there's two seasons of the Umbrella Academy, and some indie film nobody saw.
2) Dude is short: 5'1" to be exact.

Morgan? Well, looking at his IMDb page, the only pre-transition roles I've even heard of are from The Girlfriend Experience, but the only reason I know it was even a thing is because Kyle Kallgren reviewed the original movie in his early days and it (especially his treatment of Sacha Gray) wound up being cringe. Plus, apparently, he's 5'7", a bit on the small side, but more  typical of Cis men than 5'1".

* Come to think of it, playing an iconic pregnant teen does not help matters.

No, I definitely see Elliot Page as him, just very young looking for his age, which happens quite often for me with lots of people both cis and trans, men and women.
