  • Psycho Killers, Circus Freaks, Ordinary People: a Brief History of the Representation of Transgender Identities on American TV Series
    Psycho Killers, Circus Freaks, Ordinary People: A Brief History of the Representation of Transgender Identities on American TV Series Abstract: In 1965, popular TV Series The Alfred Hitchcock Hour (NBC) aired the episode “An Unlocked Window”, in which it is revealed that the nurses killer in the area is a transvestite. It was the first time a transgender character appeared on a TV series, and until the late 80s that was the most stereotypical and basic – because it was minimal – representation of transsexuals on broadcast TV series and films: as psychopaths and serial killers. Other examples are Aldo Lado’s Who Saw Her Die? (1972), Brian de Palma’s Dressed to Killed (1980), Robert Hiltzick’s Sleepaway Camp (1983) and Jonathan Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs (1991). Throughout the 90s the paradigm changed completely and transsexual characters became much more frequent. However, the change was not for good, as they were turned now into objects of mockery and disgust in comedy TV series and films, in which the protagonist heterosexual male was “deceived” into kissing or having sex with an “abhorrent” trans just as a comic device. In the comedies Soapdish (1991), Ace Ventura (1994), and Naked Gun 33 1/3 (1994), the male protagonist ends up literally throwing up when he realizes that the girl he had been kissing was not born a female. Friends (1994-2004) and Ally McBeal (1997-2002) are also series of the late 90s in which the way transgender characters are represented is far from being appropriate. It has not been until the Golden Globe and Emmy awarded TV series Transparent (2014-2016) when transgender issues have been put realistically on the front line with the accuracy and integrity that they deserve.

I responded quite honestly: “High School Nettie wouldn’t have been surprised. She knew where we were heading.” She absolutely did. I have always been pretty sure I would end up with an advanced degree and I have always known what that would involve. The only question was one of how I was going to get here, but my favorite thing has always been watching television and movies. Once I learned that a job existed where I could watch television and, more or less, get paid for it, I threw myself wholeheartedly into pursuing that job. I get to watch television and talk to other people about it. That’s simply heaven for me. A lot of people helped me get here.

  • A Brief History of the Representation of Transgender Identities on American TV Series
    Oceánide 9 2017 Fecha de recepción: 29 noviembre 2016 Fecha de aceptación: 10 enero 2017 Fecha de publicación: 27 abril 2017 URL:http://oceanide.netne.net/articulos/art9-5.pdf Oceánide número 9, ISSN 1989-6328 Psycho Killers, Circus Freaks, Ordinary People: A Brief History of the Representation of Transgender Identities on American TV Series Juanjo BERMÚDEZ DE CASTRO (Universitat de les Illes Balears, Spain) RESUMEN: En 1965 la popular serie de televisión La hora de Alfred Hitchcock (NBC) emitió el episodio “Una ventana mal cerrada”, en el cual se descubre que el temido asesino de enfermeras de la zona es un travesti. Fue la primera vez que un personaje transgénero aparecía en una serie de televisión, y hasta finales de los 80 esta fue la representación más estereotípica y básica (porque era mínima) de transexuales en las series de televisión en abierto y en el cine: como psicópatas o asesinos en serie. Otros ejemplos fueron ¿Quién la ha visto morir? (1972) de Aldo Lado, Vestida para matar (1980) de Brian de Palma, Campamento de Verano (1983) de Robert Hiltzik y El silencio de los corderos (1991) de Jonathan Demme. A lo largo de los años 90 el paradigma cambió por completo y los personajes transexuales se hicieron mucho más frecuentes. Sin embargo, el cambio no fue para bien ya que ahora se les había convertido en objetos de burla y asco en series cómicas y comedias en las que el varón protagonista heterosexual era “engañado” para que besara o se acostara con un “engendro” trans como recurso cómico. En las comedias Escándalo en el plató (1991), Ace Ventura (1994) y Agárralo como puedas 33 1/3 (1994), en algún momento u otro, el protagonista varón acaba literalmente vomitando cuando se entera de que la chica que acaba de besar no nació hembra.
