The four-part series, created by New York City-based TransWave Films and directed by trans filmmaker Tony Zosherafatain and produced by Jamie DiNicola, follows four people as they engage in the fight for transgender equality in the United States during the Trump presidency.
Im excited to join this brilliant trans-led team and to showcase the resistance and resiliency of our trans siblings during this trying time, Lysette said in a statement on Tuesday. I hope this series can make a difference and that we can look back on this period in the future and be proud of the fact that we always find a way, we always push through against all odds.
Lysette will executive produce alongside Miss Major Griffin-Gracy.

Millions wait with breathless anticipation for the debut of this docuseries!
No comment, or I’ll get in trouble.
The only bad thing that has happened to trannies under Trump is BLM. For a time, trannies were at the top of the intersectional victim food chain, but now they can’t be seen through all the BLM smoke, fire and tear gas. This seems like an effort to reclaim some of their lost visibility. It won’t work. They need to make the show about black trannies if they want attention.
trans actress?? chick with a dick?
Yeah this will have a huge audience and be a big deal /s
Trump has never said or done anything that harms the gay community. Ever. The same with the Black community, which often gave him awards for his generosity. The smears this man has had to endure!
Yes.
Trump sanctioned Russia for their mistreatment of LGBTQwerty people.
Does the moronic producer of this BS call USA Trumpland?
These perverts ought to repent. Jesus IS coming back.

Man in surgical drag.
His disphoria is gauged by his determination to harm himself.
