Sex Education star reflects on groundbreaking queer sex scene
Spoilers ahead for Sex Education season four. Felix Mufti has opened up about their groundbreaking sex scene in Sex Education.
The actor, go-go dancer and drag performer plays Roman in the fourth (and final) season of the Netflix series, the transmasculine and fashion-forward member of Cavendish’s popular group, ‘The Coven’.
The trio also consists of Roman’s partner Abbi (Anthony Lexa), their trans leader who wants to transform the world for the better, and Aisha (Alexandra James), a woman of the Black, LGBTQIA+ and deaf experience with a passion for star-signs (and gossip).
Speaking with GAY TIMES, Mufti lauds the writers and creative team behind Sex Education for refusing to include tired queer trauma elements in The Coven’s narrative. “It’s not the tragic trans story that often gets told,” they explain. “As a trans person I’ve seen enough of, ‘Isn’t being trans so hard?’ I think being trans is boss!
