Trans author Jenny Boylan is no stranger to the public spotlight. Her 2003 memoir, She's Not There, was the first bestselling work by a transgender American, she's a nationally known activist for civil rights, she's the national co-chair of GLAAD and she has shared her personal transition story many times on national television, including on a 2005 episode of "The Oprah Winfrey Show." Since her own transition nearly 15 years ago, Boylan has been happy to see what she calls "remarkable" changes in the culture, thanks in part to the visibility and universal acclaim of shows such as "Transparent" and trans celebrities such as Laverne Cox, of "Orange is the New Black." "We've seen trans people in the public eye not because they're trans, but because they are going about the business of living their lives and working their jobs and raising their children like anybody else," Boylan says in the above video from "Oprah: Where Are They Now -- Extra." Boylan first shared these thoughts in the midst of the wild media speculation regarding Bruce Jenner's gender identity, before Jenner sat down with Diane Sawyer for a much-anticipated interview in which he came out as transgender.
