Immediately following the documentary, Cox and MTV News' SuChin Pak will host an hour long Trans Forum airing on Logo TV and streaming on MTV.com.
Among the documentary's participants are 12-year-old Zoey, who transferred schools when the administration refused to stop misgendering her, and 24-year-old Kye Allums who became the first transgender NCAA Division One basketball player. The documentary and forum are part of MTV's "Look Different" campaign, which aims to fight race, gender and LGBT bias by providing information, education and avenues to action.
