Just a couple of weeks ago, Scarlett Johannsson stepped down from her role in “Rub and Tug” because she realized her playing a trans man was in poor taste (not unlike when she played an Asian woman, but I digress). I wasn’t surprised that Scarlett got cast in the first place, because, let’s be real, actual trans people are heavily under-represented in the film industry and often don’t even get casted to play actual trans people.
However, we’re starting to see that change. At San Diego’s Comic-Con this past weekend, it was confirmed that 21-year-old trans activist and actress, Nicole Maines, would be joining the fourth season of CW’s Supergirl.
