She wants it

One morning, half-awake in a shame spiral about what a shitty mother you are because you´re letting your kid watch so much TV, the phone rings. `Jilly? Are you sitting down?´ Are you sitting down? means something fucked up is coming... When Jill Soloway´s father, whom they had always understood to be male, came out as transgender, everything shifted. For one, the moment became the inspiration to push through the male-dominated landscape of Hollywood and create the award-winning TV series Transparent. Exploring identity, love, sexuality, and the blurring of boundaries, the show gave birth to a new cultural consciousness. But also, by eventually coming out as queer and non-binary, the lines on Jill´s own gender map began to be erased. This is the story of that journey. She Wants It charts Jill´s intense and revelatory experience, growing from straight, divorced, mother of two - to non-binary genderqueer director, show creator, and activist. Written with wild candour and razor-edged humour, it examines who we are, how we make art - and ultimately, who we can become.
