Mj Rodriguez has made history.
If you’re unfamiliar with the name, Mj stars in the FX television drama Pose.
Here’s the trailer for Season 3 — Pose’s final installment:
As described by Variety, Rodriguez is known for “her fierce and formidable portrayal of house mother and nurse Blanca Rodriguez on FX’s ballroom culture period drama…”
But the actor’s soon to be renowned for something new: Mj Rodriguez is the first transgender performer to be nominated for an Emmy in a major (non-guest) capacity.
The category: best Lead Actress in a Drama Series.
The other contenders:
Particularly, it appears male-to-females are racking up recognition.
Last month, a biological male won Miss Nevada.
And in 2019, Victoria’s Secret took a noted turn:
Last year, Valentina made it to Sports Illustrated:
Speaking of sports, trans is trending.
Laurel Hubbard will soon compete in the Olympics:
Of course, some states are standing in the way (see “Alabama Legislature Passes Bill Banning Biological Males From Women’s Sports“).
But the ACLU’s here to help:
Back to Pose, the show’s performers have made headlines before.
During a 2018 MTV interview with Mj and costar Indya Moore, the latter explained, “Gender is a social construct, but so is race.”
Continuing:
Indya also got attention for a tweet the following February:
As for Mj’s prediction of awarded actors who are “gender nonconforming,” in what category will those lacking an identity fit? Best actor? Actress? Lacktress?
It’s hard to say, but something tells me we’re all going to find out.
As we wait, here’s Mj before the transgender triumph — in an interview posted to YouTube in 2010, about the meaning of hit musical Rent:
One user commented, “[The] fact her face hasn’t aged a minute in 10 years is incredible.”
Another remark:
--------------------
Sooner or later, REAL women are going to get tired of this shit, no matter how “progressive” they think they are.....I do hope he/she wins!

These days, gender identity is king. And those identifying as the opposite of their sex are making waves across the board.

Stay tuned for more cultural transformation.
