“I was really just watching these videos on YouTube, like starting testosterone and top surgery videos and all this stuff. I didn’t really make the connection as to why I was so intrigued by these videos and so invested. Wasn’t until I was 13 when I met other trans people for the first time, and I was like, ‘Wait, you’re allowed to do that? You’re allowed to change your pronouns and your name?’ That really gave me the courage to come out and accept who I was.”

He, however, said that it took longer for his parents to accept as he came from a religious family; “I come from a religious family, so it was a little hard for them to accept at first. They were kind of just like, ‘You’re too young. You don’t really understand what this means.’” He added that being on The OA helped his parents realise he can be happy and successful as a trans person as well as a queer person;

“I think being on The OA actually really helped them realize that I can be happy and I can be successful as a trans person and as a queer person. Being on set for The OA was the first time I heard my mom use my correct name and pronouns, so that made my heart soar and made me realize they can accept this and other people can accept this and I can be just fully accepted for who I am in this environment.”

He also disclosed that he was set to start testosterone; I’m starting testosterone next week, which is something that I feel like I need in order to survive as a trans person, so I will be spending a lot of money on health care.”

Ian Alexander The OA

Ian perform the role of Buck Vu, an Asian-transgender, on The OA. The show had an open casting call on online forums which Ian found on Tumblr as well as despite having no prior acting skills he gave it a shot as he felt he got it all – 14-year-old transgender Asian American.

In a certain interview she sais “Absolutely. I know a lot of people say, “Oh, my castmates are my brothers! We’re all a family!” But I call my OA friends my family because it really is true. Everyone that I met through The OA has been so accepting. Off the bat, there were no questions asked: they knew my name was Ian and they knew my pronouns were he/him.

If I hadn’t had that experience, I’m not sure how I would have continued to go on through high school, because I was really struggling at that time. My parents had a very rough time when I came out to them. We filmed season one maybe a year and a couple months after I told them, and it was the first time I could hear my mom say “Ian” in reference to me. I felt my heart soar.

After a couple weeks, it just became natural to her. I think she just hadn’t tried referring to me that way before because she was scared to. The show changed my relationship with my mother. I’ll always be grateful to The OA for giving me that.”
