Tyler’s story resonated with Adams personally because he grew up in a town of 600 people in Illinois and understands the conflict of seeing people who knew you before you fully became yourself and dealing with the varying levels of comfort that are associated with that experience. Since Tell Me Why is not a story of Tyler’s transition, Adams talked with the team about where he was at in his life, his aesthetic appearance, what happened in his past, how he interacts with the people close to him in his hometown and how he chooses to disclose, or not disclose, his transition.
“It’s been a really wonderful collaboration working with them to talk through, what kind of human being is Tyler?” Adams, who is trans himself, explains. Along the way, the creative team was guided by Nick Adams, director of transgender representation at GLAAD, who joined the project early on in the script development phase.
