Isreal Luna's "transploitation film" Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives is now the target of a GLAAD campaign to get the film pulled from the Tribeca Film Festival because, "its title and its marketing misrepresent the lives of transgender women and use grotesque, exploitative depictions of violence against transgender women in ways that make light of the horrific brutality they all too often face." I agree that the film's deliberately provocative and far from perfect, but most of the people speaking out against it haven't even seen the entire film yet and are missing the larger point. The film could do more to progress trans-issues in film than any other film before it and at least 8 ways that GLAAD — which has seen the film — should have considered.
