During his second appearance, Smith was outed as transgender by a fellow queer contestant. Prior to the episode's airing, he worked with GLAAD's Transgender Media Program "for several months to ensure that when the episode aired, Zeke would have the opportunity to speak for himself about his experience." Survivor's Zeke Smith: 'I've Been Granted Unprecedented Autonomy' in Telling My Story After Being Outed as Transgender "I didn't want to be the 'first transgender Survivor contestant,'" Smith told PEOPLE at the time. "I'm not ashamed of being trans, but I didn't want that to be my story ... I just wanted to go out on an adventure and play a great game. I just wanted to be known for my game." Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty "I think [the other contestant] hoped others would believe that trans people are dangerous and fraudulent. That reasoning is infinitely worse than him outing me because it's the same one used to discriminate against, attack, and murder trans people," he added. "What's great is that nobody bought it ... It's important people see he lost that fight. The message should be clear that hate will always lose." The 33rd GLAAD Media Awards will be available to stream on Hulu starting April 16.
