With Javicia Leslie’s Batwoman, My Favorite Character Is Finally Being Played by Someone Who Looks Like Me

“Like many people of color and queer people, I’ve found ways to relate to a character that is nothing like me. As a poor, fat, Black queer woman I had seemingly nothing in common with a rich orphaned straight white man.”

Queer British Teen Dramedy “In My Skin” Hits Hard on Class and Mental Illness, Misses on Race

Ultimately Kayleigh Llewellyn’s show proves that writing from a place of lived experience will always result in the sharpest stories — that’s as evident in its failures as it is in its successes.

The Category Is “Shut Out of the 2020 Emmys” and the Winner Is Pose, the Reason Is Transphobia

The Emmy nominations are out and this year, there are 11 nominated lesbian, bisexual, queer or trans actresses being honored for their work! There’s 15 nominations going to LGBT women’s roles on screen. With so much to celebrate, it also hurts to once again see the trans cast and crew of Pose face yet another shut out.

My Top 10 Television Characters: Natalie, Who’s a Sucker For a Good Character Arc

I’m not sure what it says about me — or, more precisely perhaps, what it says about television — that this list isn’t full of characters that feel like representations of me or the people that I’m drawn to in real life.

My Top Ten Television Shows: Christina Tucker, Who Loves Hangout Comedies and White Women Going Off

“I watched it all in one night, vacillating from helpless laughter (Olivia Coleman’s line readings!!!) to shocked surprise (“Where did you just go?”) and when it was over I sent profanity littered texts about it to one of my best friends, then watched the entire season again.”

“The Bold Type” Makes a Last-Minute Finale Change, But Kat’s Storyline Is Still a Huge Mess

“Instead of feeling like an affirmation for my disdain for Kat and Eva’s relationship, it feels like The Bold Type is re-emphasizing one of the things that makes the Kat/Eva storyline problematic: diminishing the show’s lead black character to bolster the bonafides of its white ones.”

Yes All Cops, Even Olivia Benson

Law and Order: SVU presents Olivia Benson as a savior of survivors, and as a kid she was my hero. Later, I came to acknowledge that the cops cannot, will not, and do not want to save us — they’re harmful and unnecessary.

Boobs On Your Tube: Sorry, “The Bold Type” — We Can’t Agree to Disagree

The Bold Type is romanticizing repugnant viewpoints, like hardline immigration and conversion therapy, and treating those issues like they’re things we can just agree-to-disagree on. Also: an inexplicable In The Dark finale.
