Trans in Trumpland Shows Life for Trans People in Red States
Trans in Trumpland, debuting Wednesday, is a new four-part docuseries directed by Tony Zosherafatain about trans people living in red states during Donald Trump's presidency, told through a road trip across parts of America, specifically Idaho, North Carolina, Mississippi, and Texas.“The series’ subjects run the intersectional gamut, from 13-year-old Ash in North Carolina, home to the infamously discriminatory ‘bathroom ban,’ disallowing trans people from using the bathroom of their true gender, to Shane from Idaho; a Native American Army veteran who speaks out against the Trump administration’s trans military ban,” the film’s website states. Zosherafatain started developing the idea for the docuseries as soon as Trump took office in 2017.
