Supergirl's Nicole Maines on playing TV's first transgender superhero: “I’m nervous because I want to do it right" (https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/nicole-maines-on-being-the-first-trans-superhero-im-nervous-because-i-want-to-do-it-right-1202880477/)
"It feels fitting to say with great power, comes great responsibility," said Maines, who was featured on the HBO documentary The Trans List. She added: "We’ve had trans representation in television for a while but it hasn’t been the right representation.”

'Supergirl': Gender Transitioning When Young Affirms Your 'Authentic Self' (https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2019/01/27/supergirl-gender-transition-affirms-your-authentic-self)

CW’s Supergirl (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/90593-s04e11-blood-memory/?do=getLastComment) has promised to debut the first transgender superhero on television, and now we’ve reached the cusp of that character's origin story. To absolutely no one’s surprise, it’s deluded, self-righteous, and more than a little confusing. But that’s what you get when pretending a man has the superpower to transform into a woman.
