"In recent years, the film and television industry has made small yet significant steps toward becoming more inclusive. Slowly, we are seeing a change in attitude towards the LGBTQ community and Hollywood is becoming more accepting and understanding towards the issues they face. Sure, there's still a long way to go, but it's undeniable that shows like Glee, Orange is the New Black, The Fosters and Transparent have brought these issues into the mainstream and made great strides to include characters of varying gender identities and sexualities."

I'm sure young Ms. Fanning will win a few awards for acting like a boy.
It's so nice of the transgender community to provide a vehicle to elevate so many cisgender acting careers.
