Summary

Scott Turner Schofield talks about why he's so angry about the treatment of trans people in Hollywood and how he hopes the conversation that resulted from Scarlett Johansson's casting as a trans man is the beginning of real change. He also discusses why trans women are so much more visible in society than trans men, how visibility can lead to more violence, and Everybody Changes, the e-course he developed for companies to help ensure the safety of trans people who use their bathrooms.
