Adam Pearson used his social media platform to shut down ableist trolls. Taking to X (formerly known as Twitter), the British actor publicly called out those who mocked his appearance and refuted accusations of transphobia after learning that one of the trolls was a transgender woman.
The actor has neurofibromatosis type I, a rare genetic disorder that causes non-cancerous tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body.
He was diagnosed with the disorder after hitting his head at the age of five when the resultant bump increased in size instead of healing.
