Ever since the premiere of I Am Cait, the reality television landscape has become much more inclusive and representative of trans people, and now Bravo's Housewives franchise has joined the fray. The Real Housewives of Atlanta has cast its first transgender cast member, social media personality Amiyah Scott, making her the show's first ever trans star and the first ever trans woman to be featured in all of Bravo's seven Housewives franchises, reports Vibe Magazine. Although she has yet to officially comment, reports say Scott has already been seen filming scenes for the show's upcoming eighth season. Scott fills a casting void left behind when original Atlanta Housewife and vocal LGBT supporter NeNe Leakes announced she was leaving the show earlier this year. Scott is best known for being an Atlanta socialite, and she has more than 800,000 combined followers from both her Twitter and Instagram accounts.
