We know that not all heroes wear capes, but what if your favorite hero actually does wear a cape? I’m not talking about Batman (capeless) or Superman, but A24 darling Florence Pugh, whose been known to pull off a pink tulle cape on the red carpet, and who is also standing ten toes down on her commitment to trans rights.
This put a big smile on my face! Thank you Miss Florence Pugh!

In the wake of this week’s many horror enacted upon trans rights and existence, Pugh took to Instagram to share a post from Liz Culley’s podcast account @coolcoolcool.
“Trans ppl existing does nothing negative to your life, you crybaby b*tch,” says the original post. Pugh went one further by writing that not only does trans existence take nothing away from anyone, it actually adds quite a lot.
Culture, unfiltered
Our newsletter will bring you the pulse of queer culture, from the tastemakers to the groundbreakers.
Under the post, Pugh wrote the caption: “and then filling it with beauty, love, creativity, brains, colour, care, friendship, and the best outfits around” ending off with a yellow heart emoji.

Now that’s lovely. Tell us you have trans friends without telling us you have trans friends!
Pugh’s allyship is exactly what we need right now. It’s not enough to just repost what you see: we need allies who will commit to fighting for our humanity as the stakes keep getting higher. We love to see it, and we need to see more of it.
