BD Wong on Why Mr. Robot's Portrayal of a Transgender Character Is Radical

http://www.vulture.com/2015/09/bd-wong-mr-robot-whiterose-playing-transgender.html

Vulture/By Matthew Giles    09/02/2015

"Throughout the first season of Mr. Robot, it was assumed that the omnipresent Whiterose was a man. When Whiterose first appears in episode eight, we discover that the leader of the world's most dangerous hacking collective is a transgender woman (played by BD Wong) whose time is precious. Wong appears onscreen for only three-plus minutes, but the reveal, along with Whiterose's gender identity, is central to a show that has played with the meaning of identity and reality throughout its first season."
