As Gov.

Below, Houston rapper Uncle Tino shares his story.  For 27-year-old rapper Santino Alcoser, being a trans man is an important part of his identity as a recording artist.

Halle Berry Says She’s Playing a Trans Character in an Upcoming Film

Over the past few weeks, the entertainment industry has seen actors step down from voice acting roles because they don’t align with their character’s race — the point being that there are nuances and complexities that are being overlooked.

Halle Berry may have to answer that question soon, apparently, because she appears set to portray a trans character in her next film. “I’m thinking of [playing] a character where the woman is a trans character, so she’s a woman that transitioned into a man,” Berry revealed during an Instagram Live Story with hairstylist Christian Brown. “She’s a character in a project I love that I might be doing,” added Berry. “I want to experience that world, understand that world… Who this woman was is...
