From: The Bangor Daily News:

Maine’s most famous transgender teen is making her acting debut next Tuesday on national television.

USA Network announced today that Nicole Maines will star in an upcoming episode of the show “Royal Pains”.

Maines, a 17-year old high school senior, made headlines when she won a Maine transgender rights case. The ruling saw the Maine Supreme Judicial Court guarantee the right of a transgender child to use the school bathroom designated for the gender with which he or she identifies.

The episode titled “The Prince of Nucleotides” — set to air 10 p.m. Tuesday, June 23 —  will feature Nicole as she plays a trans choreographer who discovers that the hormones she’s taking may be putting her health at risk.
