Le coming-out d’Emma Dumont
Nick Dumont is known for his role as Jackie OppenheimerRobert Oppenheimer's sister-in-law in the eponymous film directed by Christopher Nolan. If his name means something to you but his first name means nothing to you, it's because the actress recently came out as transgender. On her Instagram account which remains under the name Emma Dumont, the bio now indicates Nick Dumont and specifies the non-binary identity of the star.
“They identify as a non-binary trans masculine person,” a spokesperson for the 30-year-old actress told the American tabloid TMZ. “Her stage name will always be Emma Dumont, but she will be called Nick by her friends and his family.”
-Internet users' reactions
The actress having chosen to keep Emma as her stage name, her deadname remains in use for the moment. To date, the star has not spoken out on the subject, but on social networks, her subscribers are celebrating her coming out. “Happy coming out Nick”, “Congratulations on coming out, Nick! Enjoy your newfound freedom” or even “I’m glad you were able to come out and embrace your gender recently.”can we read in the comments of some photos published 3 days ago.
Transphobic comments
Unfortunately, transphobic comments are never far away. Some are sorry that “the disease of liberalism has ruined such a pretty girl…”others simply laugh. “I identify as a Swedish billionaire but the Swedish government refused to give me billions and citizenship,” writes one of the Internet users. Other stubborn people, still convinced that transidentity is a fashion phenomenon, advise the actress to get “help mentally” and not to “ruin” “by following stupid trends”. For these, fatigue is gaining on us. Happy coming out Nick!
