At tonight's Emmys, Transparentdirector Jill Soloway became a much needed exception to the rule. Soloway, who won Best Director for a Comedy, delivered an acceptance speech that was both poignant and memorable, and included a powerful call to "topple the patriarchy."

For Soloway, Transparentwasn't just an opportunity to exercise her imagination, but to inspire lasting social change:
"Thank you to the trans community for your lived lives -- we need to stop violence against trans woman, and topple the patriarchy!" Soloway said to loud applause in the room and all across Twitter.

Shortly after Soloway spoke and everyone blew into their tissues, Transparentactor Jeffrey Tambor accepted his award for Best Actor in a TV series, Comedy or Musical and made us weep all over again.
Tambor encouraged directors to stop hiring so many cis people to play transgender characters, and actively recruit transgender actors instead.
"I would not be unhappy were I the last cisgender male to play a female transgender on television," Tambor said.
