A gender-bending view of the world from the San Francisco Trans March.
-
Fantastic display of gender ambiguity and fluidity. Finally some fabulous queer representation.
-
This was a wonderful presentation of the topic against the background of the march. I liked the question about gender, it really shows how gender is a social construction.
Good work.-

Great coverage and exposure of a fascinating topic. bnut may I lend a little sarcasm? San Fransisco? Never would have guessed. I kind of want this to be set in a place where transbiguity is not so common.

Perfect music, I like the mix of seriousness and fun
-
Loved it - cheerful, uplifting, diverse
-
my favorite part was, "hey, I'm strait dude." Ah, how nice to be so sure but it's even better to be unsure. I like all the films that Mr. Hamer and Mr. Wilson make. Good luck boys (wait, do you call yourselves boys?)
-
great stuff. keep up your good work.
-
just think this needs to be out in the general public so everyone can get along better and feel like they belong
-
Good Job. The squeaky wheel getsda oil!

A world and people I know very little about. Enlightening. Thank you. I loath violence, discrimination, ignorance and stupidity and so this wee film is important.
Please check out <a href=" http://www.current.tv/studio/media/36235440">my little endeavor here.</a> It'll raise a few eyebrows perhaps. At least I hope it will.-

GL Anything that broadens our understanding of what actually constitutes human sexuality is okay by me.
I wrote a song Bit of Both which is not specifically a transgender song but could apply. Check it out here:

This definitely fits Current's bill for broadcast. Nice professional job! Makes me wonder why you aren't already airing on in the bigger picture. Kudos!

While we hear about gays and lesbians in the mainstream media at a near-constant, we hear next to nothing about the trans-community. They contribute to day-to-day living as everyone. This pod can be really effective in raising the positive awreness this community so desperately needs. Good job!
-
I liked your pod and I gave it a greenlight! Thanks for watching my pod!
-
Nice, very nice pods and i give you my greenlight.
-
nice job. thanks for the suggestion on mine too.
-
Interesting, it makes people realize that all peope need to be loved and appreciated. Keep up the good work.
-
Interesting piece--I saw a lot of people filming at the trans march, and I wondered if anything would end up here!
-
Nice pod. Like it a lot.

I think it was great to show us all as EQUALS.
Each of us is valuable and has been given special and unique talents, personality and gifts. To share this march from a REAL and objective perspective was enriching and enlightening for us all.-

It's important that people see this, because everyone deserves respect and equal rights without fear of being themselves. I think we, as Americans, are too afraid of anything different. Without watching a POD like this many of us would never think about this subject much.
Making people think and putting them in someone else's shoes, even if for only 4:54, is what makes Current TV stand out to me. If we can't develop better empathy for one another we'll never be able to tear down all these walls were building, let alone stop building more.
It's frightening to me that there was an "all white tree" at a school in Jena LA, in 2007, in America. How many more "all white" things are there in America? One is one too many!
What happened to Gwen is not that much different. I hope we can figure out a way to accept those with different colored skin NOW, and that trans gender people don't have to struggle so long.
Well, at least we can start by watching this POD, thank you.-

Dean simply knows how to tell a story in a compellig way. The glbt community desserves to have their story in the mainstream on a daily basis.
The good news is that most people under 30 have already made up their minds that these people are no longer going to be mistreated.
It is my generation that will always fear any kind of non-hetero sex. And they will eventually die out. Too bad that new ideas have to develop so slowly.-
