Pop Culture Fix: HBO Max’s “Batgirl” Casts Ivory Aquino as Alysia Yeoh, DC’s First Trans Movie Character
I’m enjoying a delicious cup of coffee out of my Pray The Gay to Stay mug from Autostraddle’s most recent fundraiser, which is making it EVEN TASTIER. Being gay is so great and not just because I get to share fun queer pop culture news with you twice a week (but that IS part of it!).
+ Okay this is awesome news: Ivory Aquino will play Alysia Yeoh in the Batgirl movie; she’ll be the first trans character in a DCU film!

+ How I Met Your Father’s Ellen story is a problem in 2022.
+ Why you shouldn’t write off Che Diaz.
+ The Sims 4 will now ask for pronouns.
+ Vanity Fair has an exclusive clip of Gerrick Kennedy’s Didn’t We Almost Have It All: In Defense of Whitney Houston. It’s all about Whitney and her relationship with Robyn Crawford.
