Film Analysis: Growing Up Trans

If the Dad disapproves of the boyfriend, you are not allowed to see him again. Usually, marriages are within the same culture. They value keeping their “race.” As a woman, you are supposed to be out of the house only if you get married or finish your career, even if you are thirty-five. Living with a man before marriage is an insult to their values, as it is considered “impure.” Even traveling with a former male partner or friend can be considered inappropriate to the culture. If you get married the bride’s father is supposed to pay for the wedding.

In my dissertation I will show the representation of transsexual FtM (female to male) characters and the response of the audiences who identify as non-cisgender. I will show that representation in media is important, therefore I will underline the obstacles that appear in queer cinema. Moreover, I will explore the idea of the character’s identity and relatability to the film viewers. I will focus on the issues that are present in films that could be labelled as “trans’ or “queer”. By explaining these terms, I will link the issues that queer cinema has to deal with, underlining the importance of choosing queer cast for queer films.

Introduction Boys' and girls' have never been allowed the same freedom for a long, long time, even to this day. One of the most important things, however, is education, which is something that both boys' and girls' should both be allowed. People all around the world should know more about this and how girls' feel, and the permissions that boys' and girls' are given. Boys' should know how girls' feel The first example of girls' vs boys' education rights is that boys' should know how girls' feel. First of all, since girls' aren’t allowed to go to school in a lot of countries, boys' should know what it feels like to be at home doing housework and never having an education.

“He’s trying to change his views, I think. Your dad doesn’t want anyone to think of him as ignorant so he’s trying to adjust his thoughts on LGBT rights and transgender rights.” “So I can tell him?” I asked excitedly. “It’s safe to come out?” Mom sighs and smiles sadly, like she knew I would ask that. “No, sweetie. Not yet anyway.” She goes on to tell me about how just a few years before I was born, my father viewed homosexuality as disgusting and unnatural.

Though this film might first appear as if it doesn’t follow the conventional stereotypical ways of Disney’s movies, further analysis of the movie does indeed reveal that it is no different from its predecessors. This movie contains stereotypes relating to gender roles, social hierarchy and race. Most academic and parents are challenging Disney to rectify the confusion it has instilled in children concerning appropriate gender roles and since they are the ones with the most influence over children’s imaginations it is therefore their duty to ensure that their films are free of all these

The issue in this case would be that the mother is not sure if she should see the child that she gave up for adoption or not. The child that the mom gave up for adoption has been trying to get in contact with her and start a new relationship between mother and daughter/son. In response, the Ethicists explains to the viewers that the mother should not see her child due to many reasons. The Ethicists explains that the mother said that she had one condition when going for the adoption, it was for the adoptive mother to not give out her name and the adoptive mother did the opposite, due to the daughter/son being curious about their birth mom. That still did not give her any reason to go out and find her.

“Are you a girl?”, “Do not be such a wimp”, “Be a man”; have you ever heard these words uttered to you at least once in your life? Probably not if you are a girl, most definitely yes if you are a boy. As a boy grows up and enters the journey of his life, phrases that question masculinity and discarding femininity are common everyday phrases in boys’ lives. Stereotype remarks which nurture the concept of a “Man” that people know of; toxic words that come out from people’s mouth without even realizing how dangerous it is. This paper is written mainly from a man’s perspective, adhering to the concept of manliness and male role belief system being talked in the film Tough Guise II.

It is about imagining that everyone in the society has the right to be themselves and offer their views freely without being judged or hate which is the opposite of what is normal. Being queer means thinking beyond binaries like monogamous or non-monogamous, male or female because you believe that every individual has more than two sides. It entails knowing and being fine the reality that we as humans have fluctuating identities and sexualities. Being queer implies that you recognize the existence of alternate gender identities such as genderqueer or transgender and respect the identities as

In my opinion, it is not the transgender who is terrible and it has nothing to do with them that cause society to act impolite. Well, hate and disrespect for each other is a human trait. To many people, gender roles are a fundamental part of their worldview, of how the world is and should be. To such people, the idea that these roles are changeable rather than set in stone, that a person can switch these roles, feels like an existential threat. The logical is something like ‘’if men can become women, then nothing is certain”.

Oakley (1985, P16.) suggests that sex is “the biological differences between male and female” whilst gender refers to “the social classification into ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’”. This definition of gender assists the concept that gender is a ‘continuous performance’ and the discourse surrounding gender identity is continued. Gender is considered a performance because it only exists through the actions you take and the image you create. The gender performances come from stereotypes which make up the ‘male and female’ genders and make them ‘masculine and feminine’.
