When POSE first premiered on FX, it made history with the largest cast of trans characters ever on a TV show, and the first season exposed many people to what romance and sex looks like for a trans woman like Angel (Indya Moore) in her relationship with Stan Bowes (Evan Peters). While their relationship was mainly centreed on sex and romance and not pure love, Angel's relationship with fellow House of Evangelista member Papi (Angel Bismark Curiel) on season two is a beautiful example for straight men to love trans woman on the deepest possible level, rather than for sexual or fetish-related reasons. Papi tells Angel he loves her after their first kiss and shows the all-important point that trans people are as worthy of love as anyone else.
