Showtime's pioneering queer drama drew criticism for its depiction of trans men. Now, with GLAAD's help, 'Generation Q' hopes to do better.
— always played by cisgender actors — had generally been less than positive.
On “Generation Q,” which premieres Dec. 8, Smith plays Pierce Williams, the community-minded campaign manager of mayoral candidate Bette Porter This time, though, there are two trans men in the main cast: Smith is joined by Leo Sheng as Micah, a gay adjunct professor of social work who lives with his friends, a lesbian couple. Sheng says he, too, found Max inauthentic on the original series, citing a scene in which Max comes out to a date who then calls him disgusting.
During the first iteration, there were no trans people in “The L Word” writers room. Showrunner Chaiken said in an email that she consulted with a few trans men, including Nick Adams, a trans man and GLAAD’s director of transgender media and representation for more than 20 years. GLAAD consulted with “Grey’s Anatomy” on a storyline about a trans surgical intern played by Alex Blue Davis.
