Florida teen debuts trans visibility film as bans spread

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — 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.

“That’s a big part of what the festival is,” Mullins said. “A big part of the Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival is: Look at us.”

“You’re Loved” debuts at a time where access to gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary young people is under assault across the United States. Florida, Missouri and Texas have regulations banning puberty-blocking hormones and gender-affirming surgeries for minors. At least 11 other states ban gender-affirming care for minors by law: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Georgia, Iowa, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Utah, South Dakota and West Virginia.

When describing how it feels to be a gender-nonconforming person in their home state, Mullins draws many comparisons.

“It feels like you’re under a microscope.”

“It feels like we’re all in a circus.”

All this talk about ‘Love’, yet, the second you disagree with them or chose not to ‘celebrate’ their choices at sustained top volume, many Trans seem ready to eliminate you - permanently from the face of the earth.
I wish I was exaggerating, but based on Social Media rhetoric and certain serial killer trends going on, I’m not.

Not sure this comes across like it was intended. I do feel like I'm in a circus - in Berlin, in 1938.

I'm getting this feeling that a lot of trans people are angry because they went through all that trouble and expense to "transform" themselves and people still don't want to have sex with them.

Maybe if they would all stop looking, dressing, strutting and acting like they are in the circus, it would change.

The gall of these people. Just because they’re deeply conflicted they demand I learn an individual, unique, revised version of pronouns? Just to placate their psychosis? And if I don’t or can’t remember they scream at me at the lunch counter? I don’t think so.
