An interview with Michaela Jaé Rodriguez about the new seasons of ‘American Horror Story: Delicate’ and ‘Loot,’ what it felt like to be the first trans actor to win a Golden Globe, and remembering her ‘Pose’ co-star Cecilia Gentili.
and is perfectly TV ready, her makeup flawless, her black hair sleek and middle-parted, her all-leather outfit looking like a few months of rent. Sitting on a couch beside the hotel-lobby bar, Rodriguez isn’t quite like any of the characters I’ve seen her play. She’s much more self-assured than Blanca was on, the role for which she won that aforementioned Golden Globe, making her the first and thus far only trans actor to do so.
I like being the face of that imagery because I know it’s much more than possible. I know trans women who have had children, their children call them “Mommy” — it’s a no-brainer, you know what I mean? Infancy is so interesting to me. Babies are so fragile. A lot of individuals don’t think we’re capable of having or raising something so delicate, but we are.
I’ve put in a lot of work to heal from those insecurities, and I’ve learned through the healing that if something keeps happening for you then it probably means something. Like, if I am a lead on a show, like I was on, and then win an award for that role and then go on to play second to Maya Rudolph and then book, that has to mean that my talent is pushing through. I try to keep myself grounded in that so I remember that I deserve this.
I mean, they stay terrorizing us! But yes, just confidently sitting there in the same room is enough to set them off sometimes. As much trauma as we have as trans people, they have a lot of trauma with themselves, too, that they have not reconciled at all. But it will be okay. You will all be okay.
