Scott Turner Schofield

For over 20 years, Scott Turner Schofield (he/him) has helped tell better trans stories in education, business, and entertainment. His contributions to the shared work of liberation include the addition of "gender identity" to non-discrimination policies across university systems, trans-inclusive health insurance for over a million employees and their families worldwide, and groundbreaking Hollywood storylines — from The Bold and the Beautiful to Euphoria. His 2013 TED Talk, "Ending Gender" was used for its welcoming accessibility, from Board rooms to dinner tables.

A visionary advocate for change in the entertainment industry, Scott advises and consults with major Hollywood studios, working with actors, producers, casting, and creative executives from script to screen to tell better transgender stories. Most notably, the role he helped create on HBO's Euphoria has been called "TV's most interesting trans character" and "the future of TV." Other consultations span scripted and unscripted TV and features by Amazon Studios, YouTube TV, Disney+, Peacock, Warner Bros Discovery, and the WWE.

An artist who yearns for complex, authentic, nuanced storytelling, Scott co-founded the Transmasculine Cohort of TIME'S UP with non-binary creator Joey Soloway (Transparent), and served for many years as Senior Consultant at GLAAD, the world's foremost LGBTQ media advocacy group. Partnering with IATSE and GLAAD on a more inclusive mission statement for "union siblings," he created a video training to build on-set sensitivity among the 45,000 crew members of District 2.

In an era of rapid change, Scott brings both strategy and hope to the table — helping institutions adapt with clarity, not fear, and keep moving toward a more inclusive future.
