In 2014, Laverne Cox became a household name with her role in 'Orange Is The New Black', marking a pivotal moment for trans representation in media.
Despite setbacks, transgender stars are flourishing across all genres in the entertainment industry, signaling a gradual, though complex, shift in representation.
Ten years after Cox's historic Time cover, the challenge remains: while trans actors are breaking through, the societal acceptance is still significantly lacking.
'Transparent' was a landmark in showcasing trans narratives, albeit with flaws, underscoring that authentic representation is both crucial and complicated in storytelling.
