Investigative journalist Lisa Ling's documentary series Our America is winning praise for a recent episode focusing on transgender people.

Our America premiered on February 16 on Oprah Winfrey's newly-minted cabler OWN.

According to Ling, the series is "all about what it means to be an American."

On the February 22 episode titled Transgender Lives, Ling interviews transgender men and women in an effort to understand what it means to be a transgender American.

I watched it with my ex after making dinner for us last night at her place. Interesting spectrum of society, including the situation of a transgender child.
