Is Luke James Trans? Gender and Sexuality Explored
James is not trans. He had a trans love interest in the Showtime drama series The Chi. He talked about the importance of his character’s transgender love interest, reports Cheat Sheet.
Luke’s character, Trig, was introduced in The Chi Season 3. His trans love interest, Imani, played by actor Jasmine Davis, was also introduced in season 3. He has praised Jasmine for her portrayal and called her beautiful and confident.
Trig is a former street thug whose relationship with Imani, a transgender woman, is kept somewhat secret. He had reservations about revealing his partner’s trans status to the world.
