The Roswell reboot, the most Instagrammed trainers, a LiLo reality TV show set in Greece — take shelter from the heatwave by diving into our cool, refreshing pool of news.
TV is finally getting its first trans superhero
And they have done it right and cast a trans actor and activist. Nicole Maines will play Nia Nal in the fourth season of CW series Supergirl. “It seems only fitting that we have a trans superhero for trans kids to look up to,” Nicole said of the casting, the BBC reports. But while it’s great to have more representation on screen, she also pointed out that just because she’s trans, it doesn’t mean that entirely defines her or her character, saying, “Nia so much more than just a trans superhero. She is a reporter, she is hopeful, she’s powerful, wise and such a good friend,” she said.

It will reportedly tackle social issues like immigration. “When the world wasn’t burning, I would’ve been cool to write the high school version of the show,” creator Carina Adly MacKenzie said about the show. But now the world is absolutely burning, so Carina added, “I feel like there is an urgency to ask smart questions.”

Rude.

Metro reports that he said, “‘They claim it’s because it is illegal – but I think the real reason is they don’t accept me for who I am”, adding, “I’m heartbroken and confused. After all the effort I have put into it, it has knocked my confidence a lot.” Honestly, what cruel human would deny a kid the chance to perform a medley of pop songs that he’d been practicing for weeks with his stepdad.

Apparently, it looks “suspicious.” Where to even start with this one.
