  • Closets
    E1
    ClosetsThere's no better backdrop than a closet to focus on the challenges of coming out as trans. Here, actor/writer/comedian D'Lo, of Sri Lankan descent, and Indian-born actor/dancer/healer Maya Jafer share their vey different true stories.
  • Generations
    E2
    GenerationsAdvocate and therapist Valerie Spencer and trans teenager Lily Rubenstein don't let a few decades get in the way of understanding. As they travel throughout LA, visiting points of references from Spencer's personal herstory, the two are brought closer than they could ever imagine.
  • Bathrooms
    E3
    BathroomsSometimes a person just needs a place to pee. No one knows that better than entertainer-activists Rocco Kayiatos and Mariana Mar. The duo reclaim public restrooms as gender neutral while cracking wise (and wisely) about the issues surrounding today's controversial bathroom politics.
  • Right This Way
    E4
    Right This WayYou wouldn't judge a book by its cover, yet the faux pas of public misgendering is far too common. Transparent alumni Mel Shimkovitz and Petey Gibson banter unabashedly on the importance of more inclusive, gender neutral language at popular destinations on LA's east side.
  • And My Sisters
    E5
    And My SistersFor years, transgender women lived in fear of hanging out together, lest they become targets of violence. Here, artist/actor/decorator Van Barnes, comedic iconoclast Miss Barbie-Q and artist/filmmaker Zackary Drucker proudly and bravely bond in public, offering a glimpse of rarely seen transfeminine sisterhood.
