I recently started watching the new Amazon series Transparent. For those of you who don't know the premise, the series follows a retired political science professor and trans woman, Maura, as she comes out to her adult children and transitions later in life. Here is the trailer.

The series is very entertaining and has met with much excitement and anticipation. But despite the show working hard to hire trans actors and crew, there has justifiably been a lot of criticism at having a cis-man take on the leading role. As we know Hollywood has a long way to go to create shows with diverse casts, and equitable representation. But for what it is, Transparent is quirky and endearing and worth checking out.
If you are interested in a more well rounded piece on the experiences of Transparents here is a link to Rémy Huberdeau's Transforming Family. A longer version of the film reviewed by Tara here.
