\n\tActress Indya Moore<\/a>, like many trans people in the U.S., is calling on people in power to stand up for her community\u2019s rights. One of the powerful people she\u2019s calling out by name is none other than her former boss, Ryan Murphy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn an emotional video posted to her Instagram<\/a> on Sunday (Sept. 28), Moore \u2014 who gained international acclaim for her portrayal of Angel Evangelista in FX\u2019s Pose \u2014 criticized Murphy for failing to stand up for the trans community in the years since the Emmy Award-winning series ended in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actress offered her thanks to Murphy and others who \u201chave ever given us jobs\u201d and \u201callowed us to be able to speak out,\u201d before slamming Murphy for not using his platform to speak up about the ongoing attacks against the trans community by the U.S. government. \u201cThe fact that Ryan Murphy has been this silent \u2026 like, we really pissed you off that much, Ryan? Who upset you that much, Janet [Mock, writer, director and producer on Pose] really pissed you off that much?\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tMoore continued, saying that she has been \u201creprimanded\u201d before for speaking up about \u201cmistreatment\u201d she dealt with on the set of Pose, including her claim that producer Tanase Popa threw potato chips at her on set. She then turned her attention back to Murphy, asking how the influential showrunner could \u201cdo something like\u00a0Pose\u00a0during Donald Trump\u2019s [2016-2020] administration, and then it\u2019s like\u00a0poof, you\u2019re gone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s garbage. It\u2019s, like, an embarrassment,\u201d she said. \u201cRyan Murphy, we need you to do more. You need to address the racism, the violence, and the targeting of people on your productions \u2026 you do need to make sure trans people are paid equally.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard has reached out to Murphy\u2019s representatives for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tMoore\u2019s statements about Murphy came amid a 30-minute video, in which the actress emotionally reacted to the Trump administration\u2019s targeting of the trans community since the president took office again in January. In the nine months of the twice-impeached president\u2019s second term thus far, Trump has taken multiple opportunities to discriminate against trans people, including limiting resources for transgender healthcare, eliminating federal recognition of transgender identities, banning trans people from serving in the military and ceasing funding for the national suicide hotline dedicated to helping queer and trans people.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her tearful video, Moore questioned the competing narratives being used by the president and his supporters. \u201cHow do you go from \u2018trans people are mentally ill, they need help\u2019 to \u2018trans people are terrorists?\u2019 Y\u2019all can\u2019t make up your mind about how you want to view us, as weak and a target to bully, or as strong and a threat,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\n\tMoore thanked those who have stood up for trans people\u2019s rights and safety, and urged those watching to keep doing so in the caption of her video, where she also tagged Murphy. \u201cTrans People Need you. We have been copping [sic] for too long,\u201d she wrote. \u201cLift us up along side everyone else.\u201d<\/p>\n
