I am a bit confused abou how I feel right now. I jus watched 8 which is amazing and important, yet I feel sad and hurt and erased. I am trans* and I am queer. They said something about how this was the last battle of civil rights. And I sat there thinking what about me. Will there ever be a time I can be visibly trans* and have my identity respected? I just…. ugh. It was a beautiful thing to watch but the erasure of trans* and intersex people hit me like a steamroller. It may just be me but I want to have something like that about trans* people. Even if it is a fantasy world where the government doesn’t care about what is in your pants. Does anyone have anything that I can watch with positive trans* portrayals that can give me the jolt of pride I seem to be searching for?
