    Tracing the History of Trans and Gender Variant Filmmakers

    Laura Horak Tracing the History of Trans and Gender Variant Filmmakers Abstract Most writing on transgender cinema focuses on representations of trans people, rather than works made by trans people. This article surveys the history of trans and gender variant people creating audiovisual media from the beginning of cinema through today. From the professional gender impersonators of the stage who crossed into film during the medium’s first decades to self- identified transvestite and transsexual filmmakers, like Ed Wood and Christine Jorgensen of the mid-twentieth century, to the enormous upsurge in trans filmmaking of the 1990s, this article explores the rich and complex history of trans and gender variant filmmaking. It also considers the untraceable gender variant filmmakers who worked in film and television without their gender history becoming known and those who made home movies that have been lost to history. “They cannot represent themselves, they must Keegan have importantly analyzed the work of be represented.”1 Viviane Namaste begins her particular trans and gender variant filmmakers, foundational essay on transsexual access to the focusing primarily on the 1990s and 2000s.7 More media with this quote from Karl Marx.

    UNDERSTANDING TRANSGENDER INCLUSIVITY in ADVERTISING Methodology

    UNDERSTANDING TRANSGENDER INCLUSIVITY IN ADVERTISING Methodology Objective Explore American consumers’ feeling towards ads featuring transgender people What Quantitative study conducted using J. Walter Thompson SONAR™ Who n = 500 US adults, age 18 and older When November 10th – November 12th, 2015 2 Summary • While Americans believe they have a good understanding of what it means to be a transgender person, there are some misconceptions and even latent biases. • Since few Americans have a personal relationship with a transgender person, celebrity culture plays an important role in shaping these perceptions. Perhaps unsurprisingly, Caitlyn Jenner currently stands out as the face of the movement. • Advertising that includes transgender people is still relatively rare in mainstream media. • Consumers indicate a high degree of openness to seeing transgender characters in ads, as Americans believe that doing so is appropriately inclusive and simply reflects the diversity that exists in America. • Transgender-inclusive ads have the ability to build brand equity and break through. Like other strong stands taken by brands, marketers that include transgender people in their ads are much more likely to be seen as brave, progressive, inclusive and honest. • However, marketers must be careful to be authentic and to make sure the creative executions are on strategy as some are sensitive to feeling that brands are politicizing the issue for their own gain. • And which brands and categories have permission to include transgender people in their ads? Pretty much all brands do. 3 Outline 1. Level of Familiarity and Understanding 2. Exposure to Transgender Advertising 3. Attitudes towards Transgender Advertising 4. Exploring Some Ads 5.
