“I have always advocated the show’s producers to add more of the adversity we face into the show,” Rodriguez said. “By putting it out there, people cannot just brush the oppression and violence we face under the rug or pretend that it doesn’t exist.”
FX’s hit ballroom drama “Pose” — having recently concluded season two — notably took a shift in tone from its upbeat season one, as it dug even deeper into the harsh realities that many black trans women face living their truth.
“I won’t lie, this [storyline] hurt my f---ing heart. Even talking about it now makes me tear up because it hits so close. The week we shot these scenes with Candy, two black trans women had been murdered,” Rodriguez told NBC News. “I kept saying, ‘Why my sister? Why her?’ But I eventually took Angelica out of it and made this about Candy the character. Once I did that, it became clear that her death would leave such a huge impact and make people care in ways that they might not have had it been someone else.”
She added that “it’s also important for black and Latino families to see what we go through, especially the parents who have ostracized or kicked us out of their homes.”
