Trans people react to the on-going debate over bathroom rights for their community. Of course, denying trans people the right to use their chosen restroom doesn't improve anything--it just hurts and discriminates against trans men and women.

ABOUT SERIES
From Laverne Cox to Caitlyn Jenner, trans voices are leading today's fight for LGBTQ visibility. Though the past few years have marked incredible progress in their struggle, we know we've still got a long way to go before the trans community feels safe and accepted in schools, hospitals, and bathrooms across the nation. In partnership with MAC Cosmetics, Refinery29 has proudly produced "Trans 102"—a series aimed at amplifying their courageous stories and educating viewers on the issues that continue to threaten our movement towards a more inclusive, equal world. Directed by Transparent's Silas Howard, "Trans 102" is all about generating awareness for transgender rights by promoting a dialogue around gender fluidity
