With season two of The Politician now available on netflix, Vogue caught up with actor and activist TheoGermaine about how they want to fight for more trans opportunities in the industry.

. Despite being a trans male role, the plot doesn’t revolve around the character’s gender, which is refreshing to see on screen.

“As I was evolving my understanding of gender, I was like, ‘I kind of feel like a boy, but I also really like dressing up like a princess.’ But then I really started having these gender feelings. I tried to reject them for a bit when I was 12, 13. I tried very hard to fit in with the popular girls at school, seeing what they were wearing and what kind of make-up they were doing, but then I was like, ‘This isn’t working. I like it as a costume, but it’s not me.

How do these gender stereotypes play into your career as an actor, where you have to ‘look the part’?
