Just Gender tackles the little understood world of transgender people. Although Just Gender utilizes some archival footage and stills, it is largely built on a series of interviews of transgendered persons, their family members and friends, health care experts, community leaders and others who work with the transgender community. The film explores the common myths and misunderstandings about transgendered people. It also explores the confusion between sexual orientation and gender identity, as reflected in the rigid binary view of the world generally held by society. Just Gender also touches on the discrimination, hardships and brutality resulting from those misconceptions and prejudices, including the numerous deaths caused by hate each year. Written by Anonymous
This documentary is clear and educational. It presents many of the complexities of being transgender. It starts with definitions of various gender identities and expands into the many struggles people have with gender. Many of the troubles are unknown to the average person; the film describes them accurately, which is a public service.
First-hand interviews convey information in an engaging manner. The speakers are appealing and admirably candid. It's hard not to empathize with people who have suffered when their hardships are written on their faces. The narration by Emmy & Tony award-winner Bebe Neuwirth is excellent. This film needs to be seen by more people. It creates valuable knowledge which is a potent antidote to ignorance and hatred.
