TRANSform Me was a six season show that recently premiered on VH1. The show was a spin off of Queer Eye for The Straight Guy, whereby women get made over by three beautiful and confident trans women. The show had a diverse cast with Laverne Cox an African-American woman who offered emotional support and directed the makeover, Nina Poon an Asian-American who helped with the wardrobe, and Jamie Clayton who worked the makeup aspect.
All three women are beautiful, intelligent, and self-confident and are great role models for the transgender community. The show was groundbreaking because it showed cisgender people interacting with trans people, and always included personal experiences and information and resources about trans issues.
The entire season and bonus clips can be viewed online at TRANSform Me's website.
Please encourage VH1 to continue showing these episodes, and to create a season two for those of us fans, and people who feel the work is so important!
VH1 can be contacted at their parent company Viacom or on Twitter
