Transgender Basics


19:05 - 2 years ago


Transgender Basics is a 20 minute educational film on the concepts of gender and transgender people Two providers from the Gender Identity Project discuss basic concepts of gender - sex, identity and gender roles - as three transgender community members share their personal experiences of being trans and genderqueer. The film targets service providers and others working with the LGBT community, but it also provides a fascinating glimpse into gender and identity for the general public. "Our culture likes to make things simple, and gender isn't." Carrie Davis, Transgender Community Organizer, in Transgender Basics "It was the constant fight of me saying 'there is nothing wrong with being this kind of girl,' as oppose to, 'well, I'm not a girl.'" Nicco Beretta, participant in Transgender Basics For more information contact the Gender Identity Project at 212 620 7310 or at www.gaycenter.

Thanks for your film. I am an Australian documentary film maker making a film about a year in the life of an Australian Drag Troupe known as Drags Aloud. One of the four fantastic individuals in Drags Aloud is Amanda Monroe. Amanda is a trans woman who has used Drag performance as a platform for change and a vehicle to transition from "shy man in a dress" to confident and comfortable trans woman. You can check out the progress of the film on my new blog http://tryingtobeisnoteasy.blogspot.com
Thanks.
