The trans community still has a few things to say to Donald Trump, even if his term in office is almost over.
For four years the Trump administration did its best to erode transgender rights and stoke fear toward trans people, especially trans youth. Trans in Trumpland, the new series from producer Trace Lysette chronicles the lives of four trans people trying to contend with the administration’s anti-trans policies, ranging from life in grade school to the military. Featuring contributions from trans icons Chella Man and Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, the show examines issues of intersectionality with trans identity in a hostile landscape.

The show, directed by Tony Zosherafatain, debuts on Topic and VOD February 25. Have a look, and be ready to push back against oppression.
How about we take this to the next level?

Too bad this didn’t come out earlier, we could’ve used it to impeach Trump. Biden and Harris will be in office in a couple days and everything will be going back to perfect, so no one is going to watch this. Sad.

Well I guess I will have to hope that people will watch this the same way they have watched so many stories from the height of the aids epidemic. Whether it’s to relate to our brothers and sisters of the moment or just plain curious. I am hoping they come for whatever reason and leave with a better understanding of our community. Nameste y’all

Interesting @JustLarry
You kept claiming over and over that you know nothing about politics, but all of your posts have referenced politics.
Ohhhhhh, right, because this is just @Roy Ajax’s new screename since it kept getting called out.
Your snarkiness comes through no matter what name you have.

Human beings yes ! This looks insightful, emotional and super all around.

Of course, something insightful and entertaining that I’d make time to see is relegated to viewing platforms I know nothing about and have no idea how to view.

Lol. I’ve never even heard of Topic or VOD before. Or maybe it’s “Topic and VOD,” like Joss & Main or Crate & Barrel? (“Topic & VOD” sound like Russian cartoon characters.) I don’t see them mentioned on my so-called smart TV. Oh I know, they expect us to watch it for two hours on a tiny phone, sounds fun.

This looks interesting, I’ll give it a look.
