Trans stories are important, Tony’s especially -- “Tony was a character I didn’t know I needed” (Tony’s special place in the hearts of trans men) The question of a cis woman playing a trans man -- should they have hired a trans actor? Tony’s hair, a question of passing, and Tatiana’s performance Tony’s sexuality is a pretty interesting question. We don’t know how he identifies, but he’s clearly not straight. Do we think Sammy was romantically involved with Tony? “Male clones” vs. “Castor clones”
