"She has brought the issues faced by the transgender community into the spotlight.
And now Caitlyn Jenner could be starring as her very true self in Tv dramedy Transparent.
The show, which has just received 11 Emmy nominations tells the story of Maura Pfefferman, a transgender father revealing to his family his real identity."

Note: There's a lot of misgendering in this article  :-\

Mm, I think this is a mistake that will weaken the series. Unless featuring a real celebrity is the whole premise of the show, attempting to integrate them into an existing television series rarely improves a show.

I agree with this. Just because they can doesn't mean they should; it's Maura's story, and her family's, and it's hard for me to imagine that Ms. Jenner won't in some way detract from that.
