Ivory Aquino has been cast to portray Alysia Yeoh, the roommate and best friend of the titular superhero also known as Barbara Gordon, in upcoming HBO Max film Batgirl, as Variety reports.

Aquino’s character first appeared in a DC Batgirl issue by Gail Simone and artist Ardian Syaf in 2011. She will star opposite Leslie Grace’s Barbara Gordon. Both Aquino and Yeoh are transgender. This is the first time a live-action film adaptation of a DC Comics movie will feature an openly trans character.

In 2017, the Filipina actress portrayed transgender activist Cecilia Chung in the ABC miniseries, When We Rise.

While Aquino is the first trans actress to star as an openly trans character in a DC feature film, the DC TV series Supergirl, which aired on the CW, also featured a trans character. Trans actress Nicole Maines played superhero Nia Nal in that show’s fourth season, marking the first appearances of a trans superhero role on television.

Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah are set to direct Batgirl, which will also star J.K. Simmons, Brendan Fraser, Jacob Scipio, and Michael Keaton, who is reprising his role as Bruce Wayne/Batman.

its because its an active agenda. The lgbt have a literal plan from a document called “The Overhauling of Straight America”.

Its a piece of work made in the 80s I believe, basically the lgbt community used it as a blueprint on how to get media representation.

It details how important the media is, the more someone sees something the more normal and acceptable it is.

This dude got a jawline like quagmire and is out here acting like a woman smh.

There is no such thing as a “transgender”; there are sexually deluded people and perverts.

They have used black America as a springboard and actively outmaneuvered them from Hollywood. Now you more trans than black people on every show or movie, every black woman or man has to be gay now.

thats big facts, I hate that every black guy has either an emasculating hobby like ballet, or is super gay.

The gays are disgusting and are a blight on society, they ruined it badly.
