Elliot Page did testosterone himself into a male. He is becoming a gorgeous and handsome man.

That is not how it works. Humans cannot change sexes. All taking exogenous testosterone can do is making some superficial changes (like voice dropping and increasing body hair) and creating a lot of health problems. Page has NOT became a man in the same way a female athlete does NOT become a man for dopping herself.

The testosterone men take for it's effects is different from anabolic steroids. Steroids often have other ingredients and athletes take them in much higher does. Trans men take testosterone to masculinize their appearance and men in general take testosterone for a variety of reasons, including cis men with low testosterone. Page is a man.
