The bravery

Trans community praised for bravery in new film

Says the BBC, drooling slightly.

Film-makers have praised the bravery of the trans community in Cumbria for sharing their experiences in a new documentary.

Oh yes, it’s very brave to yammer at the BBC about how brave you are for being gender-special. The risks are horribly real: you might be laughed at!

I ME US chronicles the stories of those living in the county who are transgender, non-binary or gender non-conforming.

Ah, gender non-conforming – so it includes women who wear jeans and men who wear pink T shirts? So it’s everyone in Cumbria then? Being all brave n shit?

It is being screened for free in venues across Cumbria over July and August, including Rheged cinema in Penrith and Tullie in Carlisle.

Producer and project manager at PINC, Pam Eland, said they wanted to take a snapshot of community “to get their voices heard out there”.

Yes, because otherwise they are so very silent.
