TV Gets Its First Transgender Superhero

If you thought lesbian “Batwoman” was the woke-est of superheroes, get ready for Nia Nal on the CW’s hit show “Supergirl.” Unlike the cisnormative lady bat, Nia Nal will break even more barriers by becoming the first transgender superhero in television history.

According to HuffPo, the CW’s “Supergirl” will be “introducing TV’s first ever transgender superhero in the upcoming fourth season, the show announced during its San Diego Comic-Con panel Saturday.”
