Laverne Cox will host an MTV/Logo documentary on October 17th, that profiles seven young transgender people. The special, Laverne Cox Presents: The T Word, will air simultaneously on both channels. Ranging in age from 12 to 24, each subject will share their determination to live their lives as authentically as they can. The doc explores the intersection of transgender identities and race through each individual’s journey as they overcome many challenges like coming out, bullying, and anti-transgender violence.
“For many of us, the ‘T’ in LGBT means more than transgender, it also means truth. The cast members in this documentary are fearlessly living their truths and in sharing their stories will send the message to other trans youth that it’s okay to be who you are.”
Afterwards, Logo and MTV‘s web site will host a forum where Cox and the show’s cast members will answer questions from viewers about their lives in a “Trans Forum” led by SuChin Pak. (Photo, Pacific Coast News; via Huffington Post)
