'Supergirl' star NicoleAMaines is using her platform to 'lift up the experiences of people of color and queer people of color' to celebrate Pride2020. 🏳️🌈
As a visible member of the transgender community, Maines says she understands that advocating for LGBTQ rights and speaking out against systemic racism go hand in hand."One of the number one things that I want people to recognize is that oppression is an intersectional issue, through and through," she explains."You know, we all have different facets to our identities, and many of us face oppression on multiple fronts.
Maines'"coming out" story, like many transgender people, began almost at birth. She says she knew she had been gender misassigned as early as three or four years old, and recalls asking her parents,"When do I get to be a girl?" Growing up in Portland, Maine, the actress notes that she was"very fortunate" to have parents -- and an identical twin brother, Jonas -- who put the work in to understand and support her journey."My father, while he didn't understand it, it was never a point of like, 'Oh, you're going to hell. Oh, you're a bad person for doing this. Oh, you yourself, as a person, as a being, are fundamentally wrong.' It was never like that," she recalls.
While she was lucky to have parents who ultimately supported her gender identity with grace and encouragement, Maines knows that's not the case for every member of the LGBTQ community -- offering some words of advice to anyone who might be struggling to accept a friend, family member or loved one who has come out to them about their sexual orientation or gender identity.
