GLAAD visited MTV and Logo TV's offices to work with four trans
youth who will be appearing in the documentary, Laverne
Cox Presents: The T Word. GLAAD worked with Logo TV to prepare them for the
media spotlight. This documentary follows the lives of seven trans youth
from the ages of 12 to 24. It touches on everything from coming out, bullying
and dating. Laverne, one of the most recognizable transgender people in the
world is using her star power to create a platform that will elevate the
stories of trans folks and introduce their narrative to a younger demographic.
This
groundbreaking documentary will
air on MTV and Logo TV on Friday, October 17th at 7pm ET.
After
the documentary’s premiere, Logo and MTV.com will host an hour-long “Trans
Forum,” hosted by Cox and SuChin Pak. Alongside the subjects of the
documentary, Cox will field questions from audience members and those tuning in
via social media. The documentary was produced as part of MTV’sLook Different campaign,
a multi-year initiative to identify and fight biases, whether they be based in
gender, sexual orientation or race.
