Did Transparent help Caitlyn Jenner come out? “I hope we had some small influence that helped her,” Transparent creator Jill Soloway told Vulture, but also noted the show can’t take credit for everything.
“Trans people have been struggling for hundreds or thousands of years. We wouldn’t really want to take credit for being the show that changes the world. The lived lives of trans people are what’s changing the world, and changing the world for Caitlyn,” Soloway said. The Amazon comedy has been making waves. Jeffrey Tambor has taken home a Golden Globe and the Critics’ Choice Award for his portrayal of Maura Pfefferman, a transgender woman who comes out to her adult children and ex-wife.
