.tracelysette discusses the bittersweet “Transparent” farewell, the personal story behind “Hustlers,” and the fight for equality for trans actresses.
She is a mother, auntie, sister, and friend to me. On my first day back on set, I was so anxious and still feeling traumatized about what happened. So we have this box in the middle of the room, where, whether it’s about a scene or our emotions, the cast and crew can talk about what’s on our minds. All of a sudden, Alexandra walks up next to me and announces, “Everyone, Trace Lysette is back on set today.” They started clapping and cheering and showered me with love.
I felt that the finale had closure for a lot of the other characters, but not for yours. As a full-fledged member of Team Shea, I wished that Josh had finally acknowledged the transphobic and painful things he said to Shea in the third season. When I was dancing at Scores, the same club the film is based on, out of survival, I basically kept my business to myself. I had told a few people, but pretty much no one else knew. So when I met with [director] Lorene Scafaria, we talked about my experiences, but I didn’t think she was going to create a character from it. Honestly, when I heard they were making the film, I tweeted her to say I wanted to help on the film, maybe consult or land an audition.
