HOW NOT TO DATE WHILE TRANS with Nyala Moon

On the Periodical Podcast, triple threat Nyala Moon chats about her “Fleabag”- inspired fourth-wall-breaking short film “How to Date While Trans.”

Like a lot of actors, Moon had to create the content she wanted to star in. When she was in school, pre-”Pose,” she jokes that most roles for trans people were “dead hooker #87” on “Law & Order: SVU.” She realized she couldn’t depend on others to create the kind of characters she wanted to play. 

Moon’s “modern stories for trans people,” are populated with  characters audiences can relate to. She hopes that helps transform how they feel.
