As part of a move to dispel the myths and stereotypes around the transgender community, the Massachusetts Transgender Political Coalition (MTPC) introduces the addition of four new video stories to its public education campaign, I AM: Trans People Speak.
The new videos, featuring staff members of The Theater Offensive (TTO), aim to promote public awareness and understanding of the transgender community, and to dispel commonly held misconceptions surrounding the trans community.
"One is that all transgender people access medical surgery, and if you don't you're not trans. The second is that transgender women will invade women's spaces (restrooms, for example) and harm women. And the third is that we are all mentally ill," said MTPC Executive Director Gunner Scott, about the top three stereotypes faced by transgender people.
