transgénero

Danica Roem made history on November 7, becoming the first openly transgender person to be elected and seated to a state legislature. VICE had exclusive access to Roem in the final hours of her campaign.

After being exiled from the Scientology Church she became an underground queer artist, a transsexual icon, and one of the most important gender theorists in the world.

On this episode of Profiles by VICE, we meet Melissa, the unlikely transgender astronaut, to understand what motivates a person to relocate to another, unknown planet.
