In one incredible scene, two trans women tell another cast member, named ‘Mangina’, that she is a ‘drag queen’ and is not actually trans.
A scandalous new reality show called The Gworls Club, starring a cast of transgender women, has shocked viewers and sparked calls for better LGBTQ representation.
The Gworls Club, which was executive produced by Ray J, follows a group of outspoken transgender women who live together in a Los Angeles mansion.
“There’s a difference! Trans, drag,” one shouts, while her friend adds: “Mangina, look at you, how disgusting!”
Many viewers have expressed disappointment at the nature of the show, which not only features an entirely transgender cast, but is primarily made up of trans women of color.
“We need something better for culture. Can these women go visit a hospital and starving children?” asked one fan.
“I was expecting a show about beautiful trans women overcoming their struggles and moving forward… this shit is just ghetto fighting garbage with no point,” another said.
“I wanted to be a part of this but I definitely wasn’t expecting this at all. I thought it would be so much better. I don’t like how they’re portraying trans women,” another person added.
“I will never watch any show that allows women to fight like animals. Is this what we think of ourselves? Shame on us!” commented one.
Another wrote: “With all the negative shit going on against trans women (especially politically), why would we want to see sisters fighting each other? Fight the system and vote. I won’t be watching.”

“I can’t wait, this is going to be epic! I’m so glad you’re opening your doors to our trans sisters,” one fan gushed.
“I’m ready for this,” said another, while another wrote: “I’ll definitely be watching this!”

“Yes, there’s a lot of fighting and a lot of drama within each show, but there’s also a story arc that leads you to something that can be inspiring or emotional,” he explained.
“Or you could even learn from some of the mistakes that are made in programs and grow from them.”
He added: “We really care about the talent and their stories and how they end up.”
