A London school has made news by invoking the name of transgender actor Elliot Page as a positive example of masculinity.

Streatham Wells Primary School used Page as part of an effort to challenge toxic stereotypes and promote gender equality as part of its teaching materials.

Head teacher Sarah Wordlaw, the chairwoman of Lambeth Violence Against Women Girl forum and author of Time to Shake Up the Primary Curriculum, said Page showed that masculinity “can mean softness and strength”.
