"I'd like to dedicate my performance and this award to the transgender community. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your courage. Thank you for your stories. Thank you for your inspiration. Thank you for letting us be part of the change."- Jeffrey Tambor Emmys Acceptance Speech for his role in 'Transparent'
Jeffrey Tambor's Emny award was only one of several that Transparent won on Sunday, and the show's success is only the latest positive story for the transgender community this year.
But, of course, it's not all easy going.
Most transgender people still face difficult challenges in everyday life...and most will never be on the cover of Vanity Fair, like Caitlyn Jenner, or the cover of Time Magazine, like Laverne Cox last year.
Peche Di t is trying to help with that...by getting transgender models on the pages of magazines around the world.
