About this work

Description

"A 64-page illustrated publication, combining an essay and a graphic narrative format to explore a trans perspective of the gender non-conforming representation we see on screen. Created out of a frustration with current depictions, this publication looks to educate the reader on how to examine film for themselves, and offers a catalogue of resources to encourage further critical analysis, with 6 pages of film and TV recommendations."-- From publisher's website.

"Content Warning: The first half of this piece is very negative, so don't read this if you're trans and having a bad day, or skip to page 38 for films that are on the better side of trans depictions. This graphic essay contains frank discussion of anti-trans tropes, hate crimes, murders, and spoilers for the films discussed (namely Psycho and The Danish Girl)."--From page 3.
