Transgender and political-themed TV shows were well-represented in the comedy awards category during Sunday’s 67th Primetime Emmy awards.

Transparent creator Jill Soloway won her first Emmy Sunday night in the Best Directing – Comedy Series category for her transgender-themed hit Amazon dramedy.

Jill Soloway, the creator of Amazon’s transgender-themed original drama Transparent, wants to change the way stories are told in TV and film by ridding the industry of its so-called “male privilege.”

It has only been two days since Bruce Jenner revealed he would like to be called Caitlyn on the cover of this month’s issue of Vanity Fair, and the television offers are already rolling in.

After a successful awards season, Amazon’s half-hour original drama about a family coping with its father’s gender identity issues is not finished.
