Her major work includes Kids, Boys Don’t Cry, Big Love, We Are Who We Are, American Horror Story, and The Girl from Plainville, with recurring engagement with queer themes, gender nonconformity, sexual politics, outsider characters, and socially difficult subjects. She has supported women’s workplace equality, discussed the importance of safer conditions for women in the industry, and welcomed inclusion-rider and Time’s Up efforts, noting that opportunities for female directors appeared to be expanding. Her public persona is primarily artistic and independent rather than activist-led, but the combination of repeated representation-oriented roles and explicit support for gender-equity initiatives places her in the representation-first range.
