It’s an unseasonably rainy afternoon when Michaela Jaé Rodriguez breezes into a Pasadena restaurant. She’s armed with only the essentials: a large black-and-white umbrella, her cellphone, a tube of Charlotte Tilbury lip gloss in Refresh Rose (she’s the first transgender spokesmodel for the makeup brand) and a rattail comb to smooth her long hair.
The weather is a perfect metaphor for the storm that’s been brewing for the trans community, now that an onslaught of anti-LGBTQ legislation has been proposed in mostly Republican-led states, from laws restricting drag performances to bills that would outlaw gender-affirming therapies for children under 18.

After bursting onto the Hollywood scene with “Pose” — for which she became the first transgender performer to win a Golden Globe and the first to be nominated for an Emmy in a lead category — Rodriguez, 32, has become one of the most prominent activists for her community. And she’s become all too accustomed to having to elbow her way into a business that was largely inaccessible for people like her. “I was raised in a loving family, but moving into the industry, that’s another ballgame,” Rodriguez says, reflecting on those early days. “And as one of the first trans women coming in, it’s a lot of pressure that I didn’t know I was harboring at the beginning of my career.”
Within the media space, too, there are vocal critics of the trans community, most notably “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling. On a recent podcast series, Rowling framed her controversial position on trans people and trans rights by comparing some trans activists to the Death Eaters, a group of radical evil wizards that she created for her books. “The Death Eaters claimed, ‘We have been made to live in secret, and now is our time,’” Rowling said. “‘And any who stand in our way must be destroyed. If you disagree with us, you must die.’ They demonize and dehumanize those who are not like them. I am fighting what I see as a powerful, insidious, misogynistic movement.”
