In the work with the season, there has been a great focus on incorporating Page’s own experiences into the storyline.
To Late Night With Seth Meyers says Elliot Page that showrunner Steve Blackman seemed very excited about incorporating Page’s transition into the show.
Page told Meyer he would focus on the joy he feels.
– I feel in a way that I really never thought was possible.
Page also praises the work of journalist Thomas Page McBee, who is himself a trans, who was involved in working to incorporate the transition into the show.
McBee writes in Esquire that many factors were looked at, including how Viktor found his gender identity and how he chooses to show this identity.
