After working in non-transgender roles, Lysette came out publicly as trans through her role as Shea on the Amazon series Transparent, which debuted in 2014. On the show, she plays a transgender yoga teacher and friend of Maura Pfefferman (Jeffrey Tambor). Lysette originally auditioned for the role of Davina. The third season of Transparent contains a storyline in which Shea has a romantic relationship with a cisgender heterosexual man, which has been called "a groundbreaking TV moment for a trans character." Lysette was an unpaid consultant for the 2015 film The Danish Girl.
Lysette made her major feature debut in 2019 starring alongside Jennifer Lopez and Constance Wu among others in the critically acclaimed box office hit Hustlers. Lysette’s role in Hustlers is one of the first times a trans actor has starred in a major US movie (not indie) alongside A-list celebrities and is arguably the first time that an out trans actor has starred in a feature film by a major studio where the character was not specifically defined as trans in the film.
She has also appeared in guest roles in shows such as Blunt Talk, David Makes Man, Midnight, Texas, Pose and Drunk History. She also made an appearance in Caitlyn Jenner's documentary series I Am Cait. Additionally, she has appeared as a muse in several high-profile music videos for artists such as Maroon 5, Cher, Teyana Taylor, The Shins, and Laverne Cox.
In 2017, transgender actors and actresses including Lysette (with the help of GLAAD and ScreenCrush) were part of a filmed letter to Hollywood written by Jen Richards, asking for more and improved roles for transgender people.
In June 2020, in honor of the 50th anniversary of the first LGBTQ Pride parade, Queerty named her among the fifty heroes "leading the nation toward equality, acceptance, and dignity for all people". An article published in July 2020 by Variety revealed that Lysette had signed on as an Executive Producer of Trans in Trumpland, a forthcoming documentary series about being transgender in the Trump Administration era.
In 2021, Lysette released her first single, "SMB", which she described as a hip hop track. She also featured on Cazwell's single, “Taser in My Telfar Bag,” with Chanel Jole. She hosted Harsh Reality: The Story of Miriam Rivera, a podcast re-examining the 2004 dating show, There's Something About Miriam. The first episode of the eight episode series was released on iTunes on November 29th, 2021.
