Movies can be a cruel mirror. However, if the concept of transgender identity frustrates or confuses you in some way, then you probably haven’t considered the culprit in TV and movies. Many people who appeared in “Disclosure” shared how difficult it was to accept their identity because they could not connect with those who existed in movies and TV at the time

“When I play a trans woman, I don’t have to play a trans role,” Jen Richards said. Similar to disabled actors or actors from non-white cultural backgrounds, trans actors believe that they should be regarded as almost any role-although casting directors almost always consider white, able-bodied cisgender actors by default unless the role specifies otherwise. “Disclosure” achieved something rare in other films: by showing strong, confident trans celebrities, this film provides a stark alternative.

I have great feelings about the article “Too Latin can’t be black, too dark can’t be Latin”. When I first attended class in the United States, I couldn’t tell whether blacks were Latino or African, even Muslims and Indians. Everyone has a turban.

The untold story of black women in the suffrage movement This video shows the views of female suffrage leaders Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Both are well-known suffrage heroes. They believed that white women should have the right to vote before African American men in 1870. Doing so contradicts the core concept of equality of the civil rights movement. Many people also forget that in 1913, the Women’s Suffrage March in Washington, DC separated white participants from African-Americans, and they were told to walk at the end of the parade.

The CRIP CAMP video is about a group of young men and women with physical impairments going camping and playing together. When they grow up, they are all happy to remember. Some people are dating girls for the first time when they are camping. There was also a black man who said that he camped with people with physical defects and didn’t have to think about what to say or not to say, but he had to speak carefully when he got home. I think he himself may have heard other people talking about him more or less, that’s why he was so careful when talking in front of others. To be honest, some of the disabled have defects from birth, and some are caused by the day after tomorrow. This is more or less a blow to their families, but it is the biggest blow to them. It is very difficult for them to do what normal people can do.

In the photo uploaded in my snapshot 10, it is said that it is not your body that is not your choice. I used to think abortion was shameful and unfair to the fetus, but when I learned that some were raped or because of some kind of last resort The reason for the need for abortion. I began to feel that abortion is a feeling of “God closed your door but opened a window to you” for some girls who were abused or even raped and became pregnant. They don’t have to give birth to the bad guys because they can’t have an abortion so that they can remember what they have experienced all the time.

Since the era of slavery, black American women have been at the bottom of the American social ladder. They endure heavy oppression from white men, white women, and black men, and have a unique and profound understanding of the social reality of the United States and their own social situation. In order to resist the gender discrimination in the black liberation movement and the racial discrimination in the women’s liberation movement in the 1970s and 1980s, the progressive black women who inherited the feminist traditions and racial equality concepts of black women have set off a wave of black feminism throughout the United States. . As stated in (1977) THE COMBAHEE RIVER COLLECTIVE STATEMENT, black feminists are actively working to fight race, sex, heterosexuality, and class oppression.
