I am glad Perkins took the time to make the apology.
Of course, mistakes can always happen when it comes to pronouns ‘I have to say, aren’t they brilliant? They are absolutely brilliant and you’re in for a real treat with Emma this year… It’s a really great performance.’ This is the response actor Matt Smith gave to presenter Sue Perkins at a recent House of the Dragon premiere in London.
However, they said that it wasn’t sustainable to pretend to be someone they are not. That’s why it has been lovely to see Emma’s co-stars support them like Matt Smith did. This feeling of pretending to be someone that you’re not is something that most trans people can relate to – myself included. Before I came out as trans, I felt like I was trying to live up to everyone else’s expectations of being a boy and a man, which never felt right to me.
