This secrecy is also a very relevant piece to the trans experience, and should a Season 2 be ordered for the series, hopefully it'll explore the character of Caitlyn/Harper more, seeing her become who she truly is. The first four episodes were screened for this review. It is out now on Blu-ray, DVD and digital.

Understandably, Caitlyn remains very hesitant about her gender experimentation, not revealing her feelings to anyone but Fraser and still using the name 'Caitlyn' as well as she/her pronouns. ‘We Are Who We Are’ will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from Sunday 22 November. We Are Who We Are presents the trans experience in a way that other trans people can relate to and that those who aren't trans can empathize with.

This is what's compelling about the way the series portrays the character - it balances out the hardships and victories one has as a transgender person. The audience is introduced to her at the very beginning of her 'gender journey' and get to see all of the pain, struggle, beauty and victory of the process. CNN’s Jake Tapper talks to national security reporter Natasha Bertrand about an uptick of attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea by Iran-backed Houthi rebels. The transgender experience in general is largely dismissed in television, movies and books, but it's even more rare to find an accurate representation of trans men.Even more lacking is the representation for transgender people of color. The character of Caitlyn/Harper finally fills that gap in the most raw, honest way. We Are Who We Are's Caitlyn Poythress is the transgender male representation that is so needed in the media.
