ourscharr: “Five years ago, you wouldn’t see any Asian models at all. It’s really funny how now that’s a popular thing to have. But it’s like, “You’re not actually being not racist anymore, you’re just responding [to trends], and trying to be in a greater market.” If anything, it makes it even worse. I go to the agencies who already are representing one trans person, and they say, “Oh, we don’t do trans here.” And they’re quite derogatory in the way they say it. They’re exploiting that person’s popularity at the moment, or trans-ness, banking off of it, then not affording anyone else who is also trans an opportunity”.
