"We're all familiar with the "man in a dress" comedy trope, whether it's Mrs. Doubtfire or even just a silly Halloween costume. Much of our media features transgender women as the butt of jokes, with transphobic slurs such as "->-bleeped-<-" or "sheman" also easily slipped into conversations between our favorite TV shows and movies. While it may seem like there is progress occurring with more positive transgender representation in the media, this and more transphobic tropes are still very prominent."
