Anyone watching new Transgender TV series POSE ?

interesting to read that one of the ladies on the cast named Hailie Sahar used to be a floor dancer for Womens National Basketball Association (WNBA) i wonder if the directors who hired her on, knew about her background and were open Ok with it.

Will give it a look.

I think its pretty good

Not be open to the fact that Hailie used to be a floor dancer for the WNBA???lol
Of course they already knew she was trans.

i've been really impressed with this show thus far, i love the old school music tracks in theshow. (donna summers,sheena easton, evelyn champagne king, gloria estefan, mary jane girls, chaka khan, inner city, etc.)

and its also focusing on many issues in the transgender community, AIDS, screening- prevention, discrimination against transgender in the community.. even among family members. SRS talk, silicon butt-breast injection and dangers of them, infidelity, TS-curious men and how they became infatuated with "shemales" . i'm enjoying every episode and i really hope it gets a green light go for a 2nd season.

POSE season 2 premieres Tuesday June 11th

i just read where Pose show is likely to be nominated for a 2019 Golden Globe Award.

I'm a fan for a number of reasons. First, showing the daily lives and struggles of compelling characters who are trans on a network TV show can humanize transfolk to mainstream society. (I don't think that's overstating the impact at all because shows like Will & Grace, Ellen, Queer As Folk, the L Word, etc. did that for the G and L communities years ago.) Second, on a personal level, I find the show affirming because it has scenes I can relate to. For example, the love scene where "Angel" and "Stan" sleep together is the first time I've ever seen a film portrayal of trans-cis sexuality that was tasteful, romantic, sweet, beautiful, and in no way done to be shocking, comical, or provocative. Finally, it's just a good, enjoyable show.
