""She has this presence and this light in her eyes that actually make me want to cry because it's so f*cking inspiring. I understand she is someone who has followed her heart throughout the hostility, and I was like, I want to be her," Lux said, prompting her brother to respond: "In meeting her, you understood that your soul could go looking for her soul.""
""Can we not make it her sole focus? Can we not fetishise this? Can we focus on her humanness and her heart? There's so much more there." It was "kind of degrading" when people assumed that she and Carlita had a lot in common simply because of their identities, she added, and the "dignity of transness is that we get to be different individuals, have different stories and connect through other places we have in common""
Pedro Pascal and his sister Lux shared perspectives about childhoods, dream roles and the beauty of playing transgender characters. Lux plays a trans woman in Miss Carbón, a film about a trans woman who becomes the first female coal miner in Río Turbio, Argentina. Lux said meeting Carlita, the real-life subject, inspired her and motivated her to embody that presence. Lux insisted the film not make trans identity the sole focus, asking director Agustina Macri to avoid fetishising the story and to emphasize humanness and heart. Lux criticized assumptions that identity implies similar experiences and emphasized the dignity of transness as individual diversity. Pedro publicly supports trans people and advocates for protecting their right to exist.
