Supergirl is headed toward its fourth season with some big news: According to the Hollywood Reporter, activist Nicole Maines will be joining the cast to play TV’s first transgender superhero. Maines will have a recurring role as Nia Nal, a transgender woman who will become the superhero Dreamer over the course of the season. There’s no Scarlett-Johansson-style casting controversy on the way: Not only is Maines transgender herself, she was the plaintiff in a landmark anti-discrimination case that found that denying transgender students access to the bathroom of their choice violated the state of Maine’s Human Rights Act.
