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.
How telling that it’s called “I ME US”. Even better would be “ME ME ME”.
We will have to wait a bit longer for films about the bravery of parents and doctors who stood up to the trans madness, who told children and the public the truth: there is no way to change your sex. It will take far too long for the true kindness to be recognized: the truth may hurt now, but it stays true, and it’s better than lies in the long run.
