  • Episode 1Closets5 min

    There'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.

  • Episode 2Generations5 min

    Advocate 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.

  • Episode 3Bathrooms5 min

    Sometimes 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.

  • Episode 4Right This Way5 min

    You 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.

  • Episode 5And My Sisters5 min

    For 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.
