Trans Representation in 2023 media part 1: Movies Tilly's Trans Tuesdays
-
- Personal Journals
Over the course of 2023 I took notes on every single movie and tv show I watched, to bring you my three-part report on 2023 trans rep in media! We're going to discuss the good, the bad, and just how often there was nothing at all to discuss. This week: movies! Critic, journalist, and author Maureen Ryan joins us to discuss the demystification of Hollywood and who's insulated from career blowback.
This episode includes in-depth discussions on Barbie, Elemental, Joyride, Monica, Nimona, and more!
