Well it's described as being "trans lesbian" but yes. I guess it could just be a straight guy and not necessarily a guy with AGP.

I'm lost, where did you read this? I saw about 3 episodes of the show ages ago (it's a bit boring). I later realised the Blanchard / bailey thing which I thought was hilarious.

One of the eight psychically-linked strangers in the Wachowski-led Netflix science fiction series is a young transgender woman named Nomi (Jamie Clayton) whose cisgender partner Amanita (Freema Agyeman) is smart, playful, and fiercely protective.

Didn't know it was directed by the Wachowskis, surprise surprise.

IKR? It's like they learned all of the wrong lessons from The Matrix--specifically, that they think the reasons that people liked it were because of its trippy elements, and so they turned those up to 10 in each subsequent production.

I vaguely remember Nomi. But yeah she had a girlfriend. I think the plot line was that Blanchard wanted to capture Nomi to look at her head and fix her or something.

I still think it's hilarious they basically made fanfic of blanchard. He was the bad guy but still.
