Angelica Ross Faces Transphobic Backlash After Joking About Michael B. Jordan 'Date'

Angelica Ross's lighthearted Instagram post about Michael B. Jordan sparked a firestorm of controversy, highlighting the ongoing challenges of transphobia and online harassment. The actress, known for her roles in "Pose" and "American Horror Story," shared a picture with Jordan, playfully suggesting they'd been on a date. However, the post was met with a wave of negative and transphobic comments from Jordan's fans. "These comments are VERY transphobic," one commenter wrote. "The reaction here and to her post just amplifies transphobia in the black community." Ross responded by limiting comments on her post. The incident underscores the pervasive nature of transphobia and the need for greater understanding and acceptance. While Jordan hasn't publicly commented, the controversy serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by transgender individuals, even those with high public profiles.
