I wouldn't normally comment on the met gala outfits openly but. In defence of Elliot Page. I feel like a lot of people are missing that this is his first gala since coming out as transmasc and even without considering the green rose in his lapel (an obvious dual oscar wilde green carnation and prom flower reference), his outfit Yells "teen trans boy's first prom suit, borrowed/bought a size too large because it was the smallest available". The obviously overlong sleeves. The cut of the jacket collar. The overlong suit pants. The massive chunky black sneakers. The massive green rose in his lapel.

There's no way it isn't an intentional exaggeration of the young american transmasc experience. He understood the assignment, you all just aren't understanding him

rant time

I think it's very important so imma put it out there on the internet:

Normalize science lovers who don't know everything

Normalize science lovers who aren't know-it-alls, who can't fix every single tech problem because 'they're interested in computers,' who haven't studied all of every field of science despite being like 14

Who aren't perfect at everything to do with science just because 'they're interested'

Instead, let there be fascinated science lovers who don't know everything, maybe almost nothing at all, but who light up at the mention of their favorite subject and inhale all information to do with it, who don't yet know but are eager to learn because they care.

You don't need to know everything to like science and I hate that media is conveying that
