Huh. Well, this will be interesting. Most trans people seem to agree that it's wrong to have a trans actor play a character of their pre-transition gender.

Vanya is Page's character in The Umbrella Academy, which just got picked up for season 3.

I think it's a pretty good show. It's fucking bonkers. It's not life-changing, but it's something vaguely entertaining to watch once the kid is down for the night.
