Trans actress, writer, director, producer, priestess 💫 Liberatory Agitator, Doctor of Philosophy 💅🏻😇 you’ve seen me in Difficult People (Hulu), Transparent (Amazon), Connecting (NBC), Problemista (A24), Quantum Leap (NBC), voice of Hana in Tokyo Godfathers.
So many hidden gems!

That is too real. We really had a new golden age and lost it.

Thank you! 🥰

My fellow trans actors who’ve been at the game for a minute, we used to field multiple self-tape requests in a week, reading for each other even if we were competing for the same parts. Hardly any of us have work anymore, and if we do it’s mostly low-budget indie stuff. Artful but not sustainable.

And as for acting jobs, according to GLAAD there were only 5 trans roles on TV last year, and all of them are going away in 2026. I go out for assumedly cis roles too. My last TV audition was exactly one year ago.

Thank you! Check out @gkids.com! I’m pretty sure they sell the DVD.

Quantum Leap is now on Netflix btw! And on Peacock. Look to episodes 112 and 210 for maximum trans leaps! 💅🏻

Didn’t expect this to blow up but I’m SO GLAD people continue to cherish this movie. Voicing Hana was such an honor, but our joy got cut short when the remastered @gkids.com English dub hit theaters in March 2020. It warms my heart that so many people have made Tokyo Godfathers a holiday tradition!

It has sooo much heart!!

I love that tradition!

Same! So glad it continues to earn the recognition it deserves.

It was a total honor. 🥰
November 28, 2025 at 5:35 AM
Thank you! I hope I get the chance!

Thank you for sharing! We are all so proud of the dub. It was an honor to be part of it!
