nprfreshair:11 Transgender Americans Share Their Stories In HBO’s ‘The Trans List’Eleven Americans describe what it’s like to be transgender in Timothy Greenfield-Sanders’ new HBO documentary, The Trans List. Though the individuals in the film come from varied backgrounds, there is at least one common thread to their experiences: “We all come out publicly,” lawyer Kylar Broadus tells Fresh Air’s Terry Gross. “There is no hidden way to come out as a trans person.”Broadus, who is profiled in the documentary, was born female, but has been living as a man since the 1990s. “I took a lot of crap [coming out], because, you know, I was out when lots of people weren’t,” he says. “At that time, everyone was losing their jobs. If you came out, you lost your job.”Also in The Trans List is Nicole Maines, a young woman who filed (and won) a discrimination lawsuit against her school district, after she was forbidden from using the girls’ bathroom. -- source link
