Game show Family Feud is facing backlash for hosting an all-transgender team raising money for prostitutes.
The July 31 episode of Celebrity Family Feud, broadcast on Disney-owned ABC, saw actress Laverne Cox lead a team who turned the air blue with vulgar jokes.
She appeared alongside Mila Jam, Joslyn De Freece, TS Madison, and entertainer Peppermint, as the team raised money for Madison’s charity TS Madison Starter House.
The charity is a re-entry home for recently imprisoned black trans women, and describes itself on its website as ‘an innovative housing initiative designed to support and empower black trans women engaged in sex work.’
The all-trans team won $25,000 for Madison’s charity, who added on the show that her charity for recently incarcerated prostitutes is a ‘re-entry house for system-impacted trans women.’
