Yeah, ok, this is great progress, and thank goodness the actor is a true trans or there would be hell to pay.
ZitatThe first transgender superhero on TV is coming to National City.
Supergirl will introduce Nia Nal, aka Dreamer, in the upcoming fourth season of The CW's superhero drama, it was announced Saturday at Comic-Con. Transgender activist and actress Nicole Maines (Royal Pains, The Trans List) will play the series regular role.
Nia Nal is the newest addition to the CatCo reporting team, with similar traits to Cat Grant. A soulful, 20-something, transgender woman with a fierce drive to protect others, Nia’s journey means fulfilling her destiny as the superhero Dreamer, much like Kara (Melissa Benoist) came into her own as Supergirl
Why do I get the feeling this character is going to be a paragon of virtue and caring, a model of living for us all? Is this show directed mostly at young girls?
