Biography
Nicole Amber Maines became a landmark figure in both entertainment and civil rights before her acting career took off. Born October 7, 1997, in the US, she served as the anonymous plaintiff in Doe v. Regional School Unit 26, a Maine Supreme Judicial Court case in which she challenged her school district's denial of female bathroom access based on her transgender identity. The court's 2014 ruling—the first state court decision of its kind—established that barring transgender students from school bathrooms consistent with their gender identity is unlawful. As an actress, Maines joined The CW superhero series Supergirl in its fourth season, playing Nia Nal through the sixth season (2018–2021). This role made her the first person to portray a transgender superhero on television. Beyond acting, she works as a comic book writer and transgender rights activist.
