The character Angel from RENT. There is a bit of controversy on whether she is trans or not. Here is my analysis.
She is trans because trans is basically anything that doesnt fall under the normal gender sterotypes and roles, ie. a masculine man.
And I also think that she is a transsexual woman because in the show you never see her as a boy again until she is dying and in the hospital. And also because drag queens were known to be very big and out going then. She was big in personality but she had more of a toned down style in every other aspect. I mean, its all person opinion. But just from watching the show, and listening to it and doing it multiple times and being cast as the character, I feel like she is trans.
My two cents. Either way. Transwoman of color! Angel.
