1x1 - Closets

1x2 - Generations
June 1, 2015

1x3 - Bathrooms
June 1, 2015
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.
1x4 - Right This Way
June 1, 2015
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.
1x5 - And My Sisters
June 1, 2015
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.
