People need to see this documentary. As someone who has watched a lot of the movies referenced in this doc it is really eye opening to see how these very famous movies have caused hurt to trans people and the trans community as a whole.
I have never noticed how much of a negative impact these portrayals could have because i am not looking for them and because i have positive influences of the trans community. For people who don't have positive references or influences for the trans community it is easy for them to think every trans person is like the characters they see on screen. That is why documentaries like this are important to shine light on the mistreatment of the trans community in the media, whether it is by mistake due to be uneducated or purposefully to be hurtful and damaging.
It also shows that we are slowly making process with the representation and we need to keep it up.
It also frustrated me that Netflix had one again done 0 promotion that i have seen and i had to search for this movie as it wasn't anywhere to be seen on my homepage which is very confusing as this doc should 100% be recommended for me yet they felt the need to give Hotel Transylvania 3 a full splash page at the top of my home page when it is not of interest to me at all. It is good that Netflix has put this on but if they don't help people find it people won't watch it. I knew that it was coming due to other people, so others who are unaware of this movie will not go looking for it has they dint know it exists.
So please watch this and open your mind to people who are different from you.
