Actor Asia Kate Dillon is one of those leaders, whose initiatives to **rmalize **nbinary gender identity in Hollywood are rewriting history. (FYI, **nbinary gender means a person is **t exclusively male or female and would usually use the pro**un "they" instead of "him" or "her.")
Asia is credited for playing the first genderqueer character in a mainstream TV show for their role of Taylor Mason in Showtime's Billions. Off-screen, Asia also identifies as genderfluid.
"My assigned *** is Female," Asia recently clarified on Twitter (https://twitter.com/asiakatedillon?lang=en). "My gender identity is **n-binary. Anatomy and biology are complicated. I said ***, only as in anatomy . . . *** is between legs. Identity is between ears."
This year, Asia made headlines when they submitted their name for an Emmy Award and choose "actor" instead of "actress," because the former is a more gender-neutral word. The public move to push gender boundaries prompted MTV to combine previously male-and-female-separated categories at the MTV Awards, and Asia will take the stage to present the award for best actor in a movie.
"I'm proud of MTV for joining the conversation about breaking down binaries," Asia told W (http://www.wmagazine.com/story/asia-kate-dillon-gender-mtv-awards). "Binaries, whether it be man or woman or black or white, they were created to separate us, to create an us and a them. Without binaries, there's only us. Which means we're actually all equal. So to be presenting the first acting award in history that is based solely on performance and **t on *** or gender identity is a historic moment and it's a moment that will go down in history, and that is a history I share **t only with my family, friends and coworkers, but with all the trans, **nbinary and gender-**nconforming people, particularly people of color, who have been leading the way for change long before I was born."
But that is **t the only reason we want to watch Asia. They're also a beauty inspiration - rocking a badass shaved head, seriously gorgeous eyebrows, flawless skin, and unique tattoos. If their career keeps up (Asia has also appeared in Orange Is the New Black, Younger, and Master of **ne), landing a beauty campaign is only a matter of time. Oh, and if you were wondering, Asia told Ellen DeGeneres (https://www.popsugar.com/Ellen-DeGeneres) their romantic partner identifies as male (http://www.advocate.com/arts-entertainment/2017/3/21/asia-kate-dillon-explains-gender-**nbinary-ellen).
