Laverne Cox has been and still is changing the game when it comes to the representation of the trans community and Black people in film and TV.
She continues to bolster this message of inclusion of marginalized voices as an executive producer on Netflix’s Sam Feder-directed Disclosure.
More than just a documentary, it’s a call to action as well as a lesson in history that has been swept under the rug.When it comes to representation of the trans community in media, it has been more harmful than helpful, perpetuating a negative stigma of violence, shame and ridicule in regards to the trans community with no room for nuance.
