She produced a documentary called Free CeCe, telling the story of a transwoman sentenced to almost three and a half years in jail for defending herself against an attack. Laverne also advocated for better data collection of LBGTQ+ individuals with Congress. Better data collection, according to Laverne, means a lower chance of discriminatory bills like the anti-transgender bathroom laws passing. According to the actress, with more actual data about trans people, there will be less misinformation and hopefully, less hate. 5. George Takei
