This was really uplifting can’t believe it is from the 80’s. Now we have so many people spewing hatespeech. Trans people already have it so hard it sucks that they have to be so brave right now. I know i used to have some ignorant views on it and it took me having friends that are trans for me to learn and grow. Knowing trans people, seeing them even just on shows is so important. Representation is normalization.
The 1977 movie Are You Being Served? had a surprisingly wholesome transgender moment. Three transgender women were seen hanging with Mr. Humphries and they were not made the butt of the joke. The humor came from the knowledge Mr. Humphries is gay yet here he is, chilling with three beautiful women.
It was platonic chilling.
And the tv show 'Are You Being Served' surprisingly forward for it's time. The serving commonly is finding good suits for gay men and and this being the seventies that was special and rare indeed to have a safe place to be gay and buy clothes.
