Today’s guest is nothing short of iconic—Nicole Maines, the first-ever trans superhero on TV. She made history playing Dreamer on Supergirl, and she’s been a trailblazer ever since. Nicole’s also a fierce advocate, author of Better Except When It Gets Worse, and a comic book nerd in the best way possible. We dive into her groundbreaking role, the highs and lows of being a visible trans advocate, and the chaos of diving into fandoms like D&D and manga. With her sharp wit, huge heart, and some truly unhinged D&D character ideas, we get deep on representation, resilience, and cutting through toxic positivity. Basically, Nicole is a superhero both on and off the screen.
