VIDEO : Jay Duplass On How His Onscreen Transgender Romance Changed His Life

In a recent article in The Hollywood Reporter, actor Jay Duplass, talks about his on-screen romance with a trans woman in the third season of the Amazon hit series, Transparent. Duplass writes, "Even my character, Josh Pfefferman, whom Jill refers to as "the roving male id" of the show, opens to the idea of gender fluidity in season three. Josh finds chemistry with Shea (Trace Lysette), a gorgeous trans woman who shows up at a messy Pfefferman family soiree. I'm asked what it's like to have an onscreen romance with a trans woman, my reaction is often something akin to, "Oh, you mean Trace? I guess I forgot she's trans." Transparent opened my heart and my mind, but it also changed my world."
