TRANS

Directed and Edited by Chris Arnold
Produced by Mark Schoen

"TRANS" is a feature documentary now in post production scheduled for exclusive release in selected festivals and markets in early 2012."TRANS" is an up-close and very personal journey into the transgender world through the memorable stories and the unusual lives of a remarkable cast of characters. It begins with the story of Lt. Commander Christopher McGinn, a Navy flight surgeon selected by NASA to serve on two space missions. But, upon his discharge from the armed forces, Chris McGinn would set out upon a different mission from which he was never to return. Now Dr. Christine McGinn is able to tell her own amazing story, (picked up by the media on both MSNBC and the Oprah Winfrey show) and provide an entrance into a complex and dramatic world that is "TRANS." You may watch our previous DEMO REEL (Finding New Hope) that tells Dr. Christine's story in greater detail. On the main screen above WATCH A BRIEF SAMPLE of just four of our many stories that will give you a glimpse of a few of the other characters featured in TRANS. Danann, a 7 year old MTF (male to female) who knew who she was at 2 years old and has spent the rest of her short life making believers out of her parents and the rest of her world. �· Cris, who only recently came to the realization that he is transgendered in a college classroom. Pam and Erica, who had never met, but had been living the same lie for over 50 years. Now they are about to undergo surgery and begin new lives in their mid 50s. Finally we glimpse a moment from San Francisco's Transgender Day of Remembrance and witness a community under siege. These are the stories of boys and girls, men and woman and all the shades in between. Stories of extraordinary people who face fear, discrimination, ignorance and violence in the hopes they might one day be able to live ordinary lives.

One thing I can say to that is that we are not disposable, we do not exist to be punch bags for the ignorance of fools nor do we choose to be trans-gender, we are just born that way and we struggle through our lives to be ourselves while being forced to be someone we are not.

The many ignorant people in the world who hate on anyone who can't help how they were born are the aspect of humanity that will always hold back the chance of progress and acceptance of one another as a species.

Why are there always a ton of dumbasses on these videos,

if anything LGBT related bothers you, don't come to LGBT videos?

It's not that hard.

AIDS is NO virus that cause immunodefficiency, immunodefficiency is caused by completely different causes and it's NOT contagious. Yet trans people are blamed of having AIDS. Why? Because doctors NEED people to experience drugs upon. So don't be stupid. whatever you have done, there's still time to revert the whole mess and understand the cruel environment you live in. I am here to rise awareness.

[baba chioara]

There are tonnes of literature on the matter and the most logical proof is that there was an alleged outburst of AIDS amongst celebrities in the 80-s and these days I don't hear of a single case of celebrity affected by it.

trans are brainwashed freaks that doctors perform dangerous experiments upon. i am here to help, not to troll.

i have a friend who i am very fond of and i try to convince him to

reconsider this dangerous hormonal intake and a surgery that could affect him physically and psychically for the rest of his life. i am here to provide you some common knowledge education. AIDS for instance doesn't exist!

[baba chioara]

you are just a cretin, like all the rest who undergo such shit, meat for the doctors lab without a brain, who give their signature for such barbarian procedures. If this had happened in the Nazi camps everybody would've said that this is a crime, but since it happens through brainwashing, it is called "democracy". GET A LIFE and STOP RAVING!

[baba chioara]

you are a rat for lab tests. brainwashed ignorant moron.

you tell me that you can't keep your balls together. childish shit.

which progress is to turn a man into a woman and the other way around, since there are enough HEALTHY NATURALLY BORN MEN AND WOMEN ON THE PLANET?!

please explain! I'm totally confused.

No thought at all to the females that are fighting and struggling against this sexist ideology. As long as you males are ok thats all right???

[A fathersname]

What if the your right as a male to be considered female affects my rights???? Does that bother you?

This whole film is highly gendered, not sexed. Gender is what womens groups have been fighting against. You would go against that. Female rights. the right to be different, not wrong. Transgender ideology IS sexist!!!!
