Schafer’s role as a trans character is an example of on-screen representation of trans people played by a trans actor this is a standard that TV and film producers should follow. Through the voice of Jules, she specifically details how women police each other and themselves in upholding a version of femininity that is appealing to men, and assess each other based on a hierarchy where, at the top, there is an ideal and aesthetically pleasing woman who conforms to beauty standards. In the episode, which Shafer both screen-wrote and starred in, Schafer portrays Jules in a therapy session discussing her conflicting emotions about her femininity as a trans woman.
Hunter Schafer, who plays Rue’s love interest, Jules, also had an incredible performance in a special episode of the show that aired before season 2 began. In the middle of her angry outburst, Zendaya gives an excellent performance as Rue, oscillating between crying and apologizing to her family before going right back into her angry yelling.

Rue angrily kicks a hole in her sister’s door, destroys furniture, and yells insults at her mother and sister in between her frantic pleas to regain the suitcase full of prescription pills she was dipping into. Zendaya’s performance as Rue, in episode 5 and throughout the show, is a testament to her talent and capabilities as an actress. But as season two kicks off, Rue has spiraled back into her old habits and is using drugs again, and in episode 5, she hits rock bottom. At the end of season one, Rue started going to NA, and was getting clean.
Euphoria follows Rue Bennet, played by Zendaya, a teenager who struggles with a drug addiction.
