Meet the Logo30: Trace Lysette

The transgender actress and advocate is best known for her role in Amazon's breakout drama "Transparent."

Every day during the month of June, we will be spotlighting our 2018 Logo30. The powerful series profiles ordinary and extraordinary people who show pride in unique and provocative ways. Visit the Logo30 homepage to learn more about the series.

Actress Trace Lysette, best known for her portrayal of Shea on Amazon's Transparent, is a vocal advocate for LGBT representation. Last June, she collaborated with other transgender actors and producers to demand that Hollywood do better by trans actors. She continues to live her truth and speak her mind, calling out harassers and using her platform to advocate for LGBT inclusion and social justice.

"We're still in this civil rights struggle, and we have a long way to go," she tells NewNowNext. "When I was a kid, I didn't get to see positive representations of trans people in TV and film. And I would just love to be something for the next generation to look to and be like, 'Oh, okay, I can be this, or I can be that.'"
