Self-described “TERF” Riley Gaines has been mercilessly mocked by internet users after she publicly misgendered and insulted Elliot Page for no reason.
Taking to X on 7 July, Gaines shared her thoughts on the Academy Award-nominated actor in the quotes of a video of him signing autographs in London ahead of the premiere of his new film, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey.
“Not a single person with a functioning brain and a shred of honesty looks at this woman and sees a man,” Gaines wrote. “I see an insecure woman who was sold a lie that cutting off her body parts would make her something she will never become. Quite sad, really.”
Page’s fans quickly came to his defence, tearing Gaines a new one in the process.
“You’re such a pathetic and miserable hater. [Page’s] girlfriend posted this from the London premiere and I’m glad Elliot is happy and in a good place,” one user replied, sharing an image of Page smiling in a hotel room. “Just know that there are many more who support and actually like him. You’re the loser who has to go around putting people down to make yourself feel better. Quite sad, really.”
‘Do you do anything else other than hate on trans people?’
“Fifth place loser says what? You literally built your brand off being a God d***** loser. Shut the f*** up,” said another.
“Whatever makes him happy. None of my business… or yours,” wrote a third.
“Your entire social media persona screams insecure woman,” said another. “Think about it! No one would even know who you are without your constant attacks on Elliot Page and other transgender people. Is this the best you have to offer the world?”
Others called Gaines out for her aversion to the trans community. “Do you do anything else other than hate on trans people?” one person asked.
“You are more obsessed with trans people than trans people are,” another said.
A third said: “It’s one thing to claim to stand up for female athletes. It’s another when you attack a brave transgender role model like Elliot Page just for clicks. Riley Gaines is exactly what you don’t want your child to become.”
