“There’s a lot of trans awareness in the media, but things that are never talked about are trans murders. If they’re going to showcase someone’s story, I think it’s so important that you showcase the diversity of it. And not everyone can be Caitlyn Jenner. Not everyone can be on the cover of Vanity Fair. There are so many different stories. For example, not being able to have access to work because of discrimination, or being kicked out of your home by the family. Or being bullied at school or not feeling safe all the time, or having no access to healthcare. That’s never covered. It’s just exploitation of a trend, marketing it as a Caucasian experience, and not telling diverse stories at all. Or if you do, it’s not as highly publicised”.
