Nicole Maines highlights the importance of a trans person playing a trans character saying that it will make trans kids feel validated in their identities
The newest hero in 'Supergirl', Nicole Maines who plays the role of Dreamer on the show, wants to break all the stereotypes of trans characters on TV.
The 21-year-old star in an interview with People revealed that her focus right now is to do everything to meet and exceed people's expectations and fight more than just bad guys on the show. "What I'm really excited about is to see the evolution of trans characters and see more diverse stories being told, so that every time we’re on screen we’re not really playing the part of educator and having to explain the experience to the audience, because it will have already been normalized,” Maines said.
