bhansali:Although this documentary has a title that focuses on the ‘gay’ aspect, it manages to portray the stories and lives of transgender women and trans sex workers in Pakistan as well. There is a romantic relationship depicted of a trans woman named Kami, and her self described gay fiance named Sid, who are activists for the LGBT community in Pakistan. They are planning to become the first openly queer couple in Pakistan but as the documentary shows, the hypervisibilty of trans women proves dangerous to their dreams.The vibe of this documentary shows that there are two options for gay and trans people in Pakistan. One is considered good, the other is bad. The good option is to remain in secret and live a lie in order to survive. The bad option is to face kidnapping and sexual violence while living in the open.TW: conversion therapy and rape -- source link
