Film provides a uniquely intimate experience, letting viewers go beyond labels or identities, to see transgendered people—including those in this difficult inner city milieu—as normal, as neighbors, as part of us. And even as pioneers.

HOW much has been done, how much more to go?

Transgender Tuesdays was completed just in time for its World Premiere at the Castro Theatre as part of San Francisco International Lesbian & Gay Film Festival — FRAMELINE 36. Our showing at 11 am on Pink Saturday was met with nearly 900 screaming fans, who applauded the 12 patients/stars who were all in attendance, some with families they had previously been estranged from.

HOW can you be an ambassador for Transgender Tuesdays in the world?

If you are an activist or a healthcare advocate and want to show our 34-minute Brown Bag Lunch version to your group or staff meeting, please contact us for a free copy or link. Drop a note to our email listed below.

There is no charge to activists we are in touch with, but…

We do ask this from you:

  • After you show the film in a staff meeting or group, please post a comment on http://www.facebook.com/TransTuesdaysMovie and if you like it, write us an endorsement to markhfreeman@earthlink.net
  • And if you find the film valuable, please request that a university where you have a current position or know someone who does, the library of your alma mater, or the collection development desk at a public library acquire the full-length film. Our webpage with academic endorsements and ordering information is www.transgendertuesdaysmovie.com/academic

Our goal in this academic/educational distribution is to have our full feature-length documentary available in a library in every city on the continent. So when someone comes in softly asking, “Is there anything on transgender?” the answer is YES.

Thank you!
