On paper, Justice and Chester share many qualities — they are both young, Black, and queer. They are both from Orange County and were formed by its claustrophobic conservatism.

Every time I step on set and get into the clothes and the hair, I can’t not feel limitless.” aq2661 “You’re gonna go out and search for groups that accept you where you can do the work that you want to do, but you might not necessarily find that immediately. I’ve had to fight just as hard in some progressive spaces as I fight in centrist or Republican spaces just to get taken seriously. If you’re trans in politics, you have to do twice the work for the issues you want to fight for, and then you also have to fight to have your own voice heard. Make sure you’re ready to fight all of those fights and also take care of yourself at the same time. You’re not going to be able to do the work if you’re not taking care of your body and your material needs like your housing and your health care. Go to the doctor for that pain that’s been hurting you for months; go buy a bed if you need a new bed. Take care of your material needs first so that you can be there for the people who are counting on you to do the work.”TV aq2661 ’s cast is riddled with people Justice recognizes from his world growing up, including “liberal rebels of conservative parents,” who often acted out to spite their parents, but deep down, emulated their parents’ backward ideas and projected them unfairly onto marginalized people. “They still had deeply rooted, conservative mindsets,” he says. “It would just spill over into micro-aggressive comments.” aq2661 Despite his negative experience in Anaheim, Smith has built quite a name for himself in Hollywood.
