What You Don't Know About Elliot Page's Wife

She's very vocal about the double standards she faces as a woman who identifies as queer. In an interview with Bustle, Portner criticized gender norms in the dance industry and shared her own experience meeting these expectations head on. "There's this weird norm happening [at convention classes] where they'll call out, 'OK — only the boys come out.' And it's unfair, because in dance there's an extreme imbalance of woman to men, especially in the commercial contemporary world. So if there's a boys' group, they get so much more seen than the women. They get more space. They get more for their money. They just get more," she explained. By exposing this issue, she further shows how our society as a whole has a lot of work to do when it comes to equal rights.

She also added that now that she's become more popular both on Instagram and in the dance community, she can actively use her platform to reach people who either don't feel seen or are ready to learn more, whether it's "a closeted and questioning friend down the street. Or that misunderstanding parent upstairs. Or the 'you' on the other side of this screen now."

Although Portner and Page live a quiet life in New York City, they continue to stand up for what's right in their own ways while also elevating the voices of others (via Page Six).
