Pedro Pascal, the heartthrob actor known for roles in The Mandalorian and Wonder Woman 1984 just posted a sweet message of support to his transgender sister.
Pascal took to Instagram to make the announcement. Lux also appears on the cover of the Spanish-language magazine Ya this week.
“Mi hermana, mi corazón, nuestra Lux,” Pascal wrote in the post. [Translation: My sister, my heart, our Lux.]
People further reports that Lux began her transition while studying acting at the prestigious Julliard School in New York City. In Ya, the actress also opened up about how transitioning affected her family, and how Pedro’s support helped her through difficult times.
How about we take this to the next level?

“My transition has been something that’s very natural for everyone in my family,” Lux said. “It’s almost something that they expected to happen.”
She added that her brother Pedro “has been an important part of this. He’s also an artist and has served as a guide for me. He was one of the first people to gift me the tools that started shaping my identity.”
“Moving through the world as a woman is much more simple for me, but I still advocate for nonbinary identities to have a space in society,” Lux added. We need trans activists who are good, smart, informed and who can be strong voices against transphobia, homophobia and racism.”
We’re proud of you, Lux. Tell your brother we’re proud of him too.

Good for him!

While Ms Carano’s comments are contestable, I don’t understand that she should be fired for expressing a viewpoint. That said, she must be quite insensitive and lack perception that a) the Internet is forever, b) her career depends appealing to strangers/fans, c) her industry is highly peopled of a different perception, and d) she entertains political ideas resoundingly rejected in every court of contestation.
Maybe she was fired for a different reason? Money? Other projects? Illness or injury? Conflict with a more “valued” cast or crew or production members?
In any case, I would never post anything that I would not ever wish to retract in 10, 20 or 30 years.

Sorry for the double negative mistake in the last sentence above. My bad.
