Drag Race icon blames Trump for lack of trans stars in Traitors season four
Briefly

Peppermint, a trans performer and activist, expressed disappointment over the lack of trans representation in season 4 of The Traitors US. Despite being a fan of the show, she noted this absence as reflecting a troubling trend of exclusion in media, particularly influenced by the current political climate. Her statement highlighted the need for producers to prioritize inclusivity and courage in their casting decisions, while also acknowledging the presence of Monét X Change as a positive addition to the cast.
As a fan of the show, I was hopeful to see more inclusion with the new cast, but I felt it had been lacking.
After the current administration's threats to punish those who include trans people in their respective industries, I knew many would fall in line.
I urge all reality-TV producers and casting directors to be more inclusive and brave with their casting choices.
I’m so glad to see Monét X Change among the season 4 line-up; she is going to be fantastic.
