A Hollywood star with a supporting role in “Oppenheimer” has come out as “trans masculine non-binary,” according to reports.
Emma Dumont, 30, is best known for playing Robert Oppenheimer’s (Cillian Murphy) sister-in-law Jackie in the Oscar-winning film. The star also debuted “they/them” pronouns on Instagram and will use a new name, Nick, with friends and family. Dumont will continue using Emma professionally and on social media.
“They identify as a trans masculine non-binary person. Their work name is still going to be Emma Dumont, but they will go by Nick with friends and family,” a rep for the star told TMZ.
Per Healthline, the term transmasculine “is an umbrella term that refers to people who were assigned female at birth but identify with masculinity.”
The outlet noted that it may also be referred to as “transmasc.”
Dumont has not addressed the change beyond the rep’s statement and last posted on Instagram on December 3.
Social media was filled with negative reactions.

“Would have been easier to just say ‘Emma Dumont comes out as mentally ill,'” one X commenter said.
The star has been active in Hollywood since 2009 with credits in minor films and TV shows. Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” took home 7 Academy Awards earlier this year including Best Picture, Directing, Actor in a Leading Role, Actor in a Supporting Role, Cinematography, Film Editing, and Original Score.
Dumont’s announcement comes on the heels of celeb Ellen Page, who now goes by Elliot Page, making a similar declaration.
Page came out as transgender and non-binary in early December 2020, roughly six years after coming out as a lesbian.
“Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot,” Page said in a statement posted to Twitter, as The Daily Wire previously reported.
“I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey. I can’t begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self.”
In 2021, Page spoke out against legislation which would protect children from being given life-altering surgeries and drugs that were being marketed as “transgender care.”
“The backlash right now is so intense. But the rhetoric coming from anti-trans activists and anti-LGBTQ activists—it’s devastating. These bills are going to be responsible for the death of children. It is that simple,” Page said at the time.
Some of the legislation in question is currently being reviewed by the Supreme Court as trans activists argue against a law in Tennessee which protects children from having these types of surgeries.
