A Florida teenager has documented how it feels to be young and transgender for a film set to debut at a festival as transgender people around the world celebrate visibility and lawmakers across the country look to restrict their rights and care.
Carys Mullins, 19, who is gender non-conforming and uses she and they pronouns, said their experience inspired conversations with community members for a documentary, "You're Loved." The film directed and produced by Mullins is set to premiere Friday at the Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival on International Transgender Day of Visibility.
When describing how it feels to be a gender-nonconforming person in their home state, Mullins draws many comparisons."It almost feels like you're a guinea pig of sorts for people who have no idea what it's like to be trans, to be nonbinary, to be gender-nonconforming. They don't see us as people." Malone spoke at a Texas House committee hearing on Monday about a measure seeking to restrict care. The hearing started around 8 a.m. Malone said she wasn't able to speak until after 11 p.m.
But the poll also shows transgender adults say they are satisfied with their lives at a lower rate than the U.S. adult population as a whole.
