Lilly Wachowski: Simply putting a trans person or a queer character on TV is a "revolutionary act"

Variety

Wachowski made a rare public appearance to discuss Showtime's Work in Progress at the TV press tour. “Being able to engage in this dialogue about queerness and transness and all of these issues like fat phobia and ageism and mental illness, it’s super important to get these messages out there,” said Wachowski. The Matrix co-director is co-writing and executive producing the comedy starring Abby McEnany as a “fat, queer” woman from Chicago whose misfortune and despair unexpectedly lead her to a vibrantly transformative relationship.
