As the newest member of the cast for the new National Geographic Show “ilers”, Yasmin Miranda has been cast to play the role of a transgender young girl who was found by her foster parents in San Francisco. The show is called “Transgender Myths” and chronicles the lives of young trans-gendered women around the country. She plays 21 years old Adriaanse Lewis, who at the beginning of the show begins to feel like a woman. Eventually she feels that she is a girl trapped in a boy’s body. She had been brought up as a boy due to her biological mom and foster father’s choice to let her go.
In this role she will be playing a character who has chosen to live as a woman due to her attraction to the short height of female humans as compared to her own height and body frame. Her physical description from the production crew has her standing at 5′ 4″ and she has been provided with high heels, fishnet stockings, and a ruffled top. She also has a pronounced limp and is said to be very comfortable with that, however there are those who say that she is not, in fact, able to walk without difficulty while doing so.
Miranda’s life has been turned upside down when her foster parents decide that she should go to a crossdresser even though her biological gender is female. This of course leads to other complications such as harassment from cisgendered men, the denial of a legal right to health benefits that are given to females, and she has an unusual relationship with her birth partner. This show does not use gender pronouns but it is clear from the descriptions of her relationship with her birth partner that she is married to him, which could be considered as statutory rape according to some. This show is currently filming across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom and is expected to be finished by the end of the year.
