As a queer trans person, I love Pose so unbelievably much. I'm so excited to see you guys react to it!

Chris Mackenzie

Well that's a wonderful surprise, I loved Pose! Billy Porter is Amazing, some of his Red Carpet looks are simply unforgettable!!

Also as a note on the conversation around the fetishizations of trans people, it absolutely is an issue. It happens more to trans women but absolutely also happens to trans men too. In my experience, around 95% of the guys who will message me on dating apps or hookup apps are only interested in me because of the fact that I'm trans. I get a lot of 'straight men' who are interested in me but also a lot of queer men who want to hookup just because they want to hookup with a trans person. I think arguably the worst people though are those that are interested in trans people because they want to try to get us to detransition for them. Long comment but just thought I'd share my experience as a trans person! Especially as a queer trans man.

I remember watching this, very impactful, can't wait to warm up to celebrate Pride with you both

Chris Mackenzie

Thank you for pointing that out. I do see a lot of guys on dating apps specifying that they are looking for a trans person, and many (though not all) of their descriptions of themselves and what they're 'looking for' come across as fetishistic and perverse. As with many other issues related to trans rights, there is certainly more work that needs to be done.

When society tries to squash people for being themselves everyone loses

This community is acceptance and inclusion of all of us x

Yeah it’s a lot more common than people realise honestly. I think most people genuinely just aren’t aware that it happens frequently which is completely understandable but also why shows and conversations like this are so important! Especially since trans people are likely to experience sexual violence which very often goes hand in hand with fetishisation

Chris Metzger

OMG!!! I can't begin to tell you how happy I am that you're watching this! I know you're going to love it!

Diane Furlong

This will be fun to watch this evening after work. Thanks

I love Pose! Angel is my favorite. She could ask me to do whatever, and I'd be like "whatever you say, beautiful."

I had a pretty rough coming out. I wasn't physically abused or anything like that, but when my family found out I was seeing my girlfriend at the time (who I have talked about before while commenting on Fellow Travelers), even though I was an adult, my aunt forbade us to see each other and forced me to cut off communication with her, which caused me to sneak around with her again and they found out again and it got to the point where I didn't want to keep hiding and I said you know what, you can either accept it or don't but I'm not going to hide it anymore. I'm very lucky that my aunt came around and is very supportive now, though she's not perfect by any means. I often think how it could've been a lot worse for me, had it gone another direction, especially with my disability on top of it. My aunt has apologized many times since then, for any part she might've played in my girlfriend and I not making it even though it wasn't her fault entirely, it was me mostly. Watching this took me right back there and my tummy hurt.

I will not forget Billy Porter saying that his trans co-stars need to "wait their turn" when he was asked about people rightfully complaining that he was nominated for POSE at the Emmys as a cis man while not a single one of the trans women was. He is not an ally, just aligns himself with the community when it suits him.

Oceanflower

as a gay trans guy I always have to be a bit on edge in conversations with cis gays cause either they fetishise or bring out comments in casual conversations that equate gay to only liking cis penis and/or being gay to being disgusted by any genitals that's not a cis penis. depending on how safe or angry I'm feeling I then turn that conversation usually into a mandatory sex ed classes cause most cis gays have no idea about trans men's bodies that's not from fetishist porn.

Oceanflower

Also on fetishisation, for trans women it's a huge issue that's often discussed within the trans community but it's also a big issue for trans men.

Sebastian Whitaker

The way literally 2 minutes ago I JUST commented on another reactor to ask if they'd seen Pose. This is one of my favourite shows ever, you'll love it!

TJ

this is one my favorite recent series, so glad you are doing this
