Support Hotlines:
I've been watching TransGeneration recently, and it's basically just a reality TV show that caters to perverse cis curiosity about trans folks.
it has so many fucked up moments, but one of the ones I found amusing was when they took footage of Gabbie the trans woman cutting up hot dogs:
Then just to make sure we didn't miss the metaphor they zoom in and really focus on her cutting the hot dogs:
just, lmao
So back then it was a lot more indifferent and they'd use words that now would be considered outdated and somewhat offensive (like saying 'transsexual')?
Yeah you got it. Apparently her character was originally written as a transphobic bit (haha wouldn't it be funny if the socially awkward guy went on a date and it turned out the date was trans), but I think the actor really took it seriously and the writers consulted with trans advocacy groups and they brought on a trans woman to consult formally and make sure Hayley wasnt just a characature. It wasn't perfect by any means but it was really interesting to compare with now where a trans person's inclusion would be considered a pure political statement and the hate machine would immediately spin into overdrive.
