“We haven’t seen a lot of stories like Bertie’s before,” Robinson told LGBTQ Nation. “Someone who is a person of color and non-binary, we don’t see those stories in history often. History has been whitewashed and straightwashed but these characters existed. These people existed. I felt so honored to be a part of telling these stories and telling a story similar to mine for a person like Bertie.”

Why aren't you pitching?
I think I've been just holding on to it so tight, I don't even know how to look at myself anymore. I feel like I am just tying myself into knots all the time. And I don't know how to untie them. And it doesn't matter whether or not I'm playing ball or not because there is just....there is no version of myself that makes sense for the world.
