When it was announced last year that Jamie Clayton had been cast to play the iconic Hell Priest, aka Pinhead in David Bruckner's reboot of "Hellraiser," an unfortunate number of horror fans were left asking, "Who?" Headlines primarily focused on the groundbreaking decision to cast the character originated by Doug Bradley with a woman, discussing the idea of Clayton's inclusion far more than her talents as an actor. It seemed as if the general discourse was more interested in debating the merits of Pinhead being played by a trans woman, rather than celebrating the trans woman chosen to play the part.
Jamie Clayton first broke onto the scene with a short-lived reality TV series called "TRANSform Me," with Laverne Cox and Nina Poon. A successor to the original run of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy," the series saw the three hosts providing full-life makeovers to cisgender women in need.

From transgender actress Jamie Clayton's perspective, all of this is very good news.
"Society as a whole has viewed transgendered people as not-normal for so long," Clayton said during a roundtable conversation at Netflix's "Stream into Summer" press...
