Jill Soloway has made major strides for the transgender community and she's not stopping anytime soon. The creator of Amazon's Transparent has managed to change the TV landscape by telling the stories of trans people on her series, winning awards for it and talking about the issue of gender inclusiveness throughout it all. She has also co-founded 50/50 by 2020, which is an initiative to get equity in Hollywood by the year 2020. She has continued to speak her mind both on and off screen writing, She Wants It: Desire, Power, and Toppling the Patriarchy in 2018 and continually producing, writing and running her hit series.
