Ian Alexander, the voice of Lev, speaking on deadnaming in The Last of Us 2:

One of the most criticized moments occurs during an early shootout in which Lev’s own people deadname him in front of Abby, effectively outing him as a trans character amid a traumatizing experience.

“I completely understand a lot of people’s frustrations,” says Alexander. “Obviously, the writers have the best intentions and wanted to bring authentic representation, and they might have missed the mark a little bit with that.”

But Alexander views the scene through a different lens: At the end of the fight, when Lev and Abby are safe, Lev turns to her and asks, “Did you hear what they called me?” When Abby confirms, Lev follows up by asking, “Do you want to ask me about it?” At this most vulnerable moment, an exchange of power happens between the two characters: Rather than pry or demand an explanation, Abby gives Lev the ability to reclaim agency over his story by giving him a choice, asking, “Do you want me to ask you about it?”

“I felt like it was really important, not only for myself as a trans person to see that scene but also for cis allies to see that scene and realize this is the way that a discussion surrounding someone’s gender should be,” says Alexander. “It should always be their decision. They make the first move. They have agency over talking about it, because it is something that’s really deeply personal and can be very triggering to talk about.” (link)

I watched a video essay on The Last of Us Part II last night and they were talking about how while there are problems with the portrayl of Lev (played by Ian Alexander), it is really nice to see a canonically trans man in mainstream media played by a trans actor... the only other time op can think of that happening is that one guy from The OA. Also played by Ian Alexander.

And the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Gray from Star Trek. Played by Ian Alexander.

All trans men are Ian Alexander
