The Juno star made also shared that she faced an inner struggle because she was also in the Hollywood spotlight.

"It's weird because here I am, an actress, representing—at least in some sense—an industry that places crushing standards on all of us," Page said. "Not just young people, but everyone. Standards of beauty. Of a good life. Of success. Standards that, I hate to admit, have affected me."

"You have ideas planted in your head, thoughts you never had before, that tell you how you have to act, how you have to dress and who you have to be. I have been trying to push back, to be authentic, to follow my heart, but it can be hard," she admitted.

After her moving speech, which you can read in its entirety here, Page tweeted, "Thank you @ HRC and everyone for all the love and support. X."
