I think part of it is envy. Ellen Page was absolutely beautiful as a woman and seems like one of the most well-adjusted people to come out of Hollywood. He's been the "it girl" so many times in his life, and to see him "throw that away" to "become a man" is too much for people whose dreams never went beyond the traditional ideas of success. I'm happy for him, though - it just turns out I'm a little gayer than I thought, I guess.
On the other hand, you'll probably hear a huge collective sigh of relief from shitty online straight guys who were upset over Ellen's sexuality despite the fact that they would still never have had a shot if she were straight. Now that he's Elliot, they can all go back to pretending that they wouldn't fuck him anyway so it's all good.
