Being Trans in the Land of Machismo

The word "transgender" is a term used to identify people whose gender identity is different from the sex assigned at birth. Today, I speak to Rebecca, a transgender woman who relocated to Texas from Mexico to escape transphobia there, and who suffered having to be detained in the male quarters at ICE in Texas. She is part of the voices featured in a new docu-series that will be coming out February 25th, Trans in Trumpland. The docu-series examines the struggles and resiliency of the transgender community under the Trump administration and features intersectional issues such as race, immigration, and poverty. The series was created by trans-owned production company TransWave Films and is directed by Tony Zosherafatain and produced by Jamie DiNicola.

All Four Episodes of Trans in Trumpland will be available February 25th on Topic
