'Transparent' is a multilayered story about an LA-based Jewish family, whose patriarch Mort has begun to transition from male to a truer female self, named Maura. More than just a coming out story about Maura’s transitioning, the first season of the series has presented a murky, at times uncomfortable, exploration of family, gender, identity and human connection. Our panel of speakers explore the first season of 'Transparent', examine its attempts at transformative representation, and tackle issues of gender and transgender representation on the small screen.
