Transgender lives matter just as much as any other lives. Someone wanting to change their gender shouldn’t affect their life to the point that they can’t even go out in public. Wanting to express yourself shouldn’t be something that brings harm into your life. Society has been brainwashed to only see things a certain way and to go with the flow but whenever someone wants to express themselves or go against the grain it brings up a lot of unwanted opinions. Gender expression for transgender has been discouraged and discriminated against for decades to the place that trans people are afraid to express themselves. The film depicts all the negative effects transphobia had on the lives of those who are transgender. It’s truly sickening to see how humans can be so cruel with their words and actions just because someone is different from them. Trans lives have been the butt of the joke for years. the media has portrayed trans people in the most negative aspect to display an illusion that being trans is the most unpleasant thing in the world. Transgenders are constantly being discriminated against in society. They face high rates of health disparities from the lack of primary health care, high STI rates, and high suicide rates. They also have high rates of unemployment, homelessness, low education, and poverty. Black and Hispanic transgender people are likely to experience extreme poverty earning less than $10,000 a year. This also leads to them experiencing high rates of physical abuse from participating in sex work, sex trafficking, and other forms of criminal organizations. They also face a lot of physical abuse in their daily lives out in the streets from those who are transphobic. It’s time transgender lives get the representation and equality that they’ve lacked for the past decades. They have been overlooked and ignored by the public for far too long.
