GLAAD Calls On Tribeca Film Festival to Pull Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s with Knives From Schedule

GLAAD was recently alerted by community members and allies to a film called Ticked-Off ->-bleeped-<-s with Knives that will be screened at the upcoming Tribeca Film Festival. After viewing the film, GLAAD is now calling on Tribeca to pull the film from its schedule.

Although the title is certainly problematic, it is far from the only issue with this film. The film, 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.
