I just made up a little article about Nina Poon and her boyfriend that were featured in an ad campaign for fashion designer Kenneth Cole. Now I am going to introduce you to another awesome project. It is called "Being T". This is a 10-part documentary series on the lives of transgender woman in New York City. These woman are all at different stages of transition, featured at different walks of life. Here is the bio for the series off their myspace page as well as pictures of the girls featured for this documentary with their myspace links.
"t" is a multi-part, slice-of-life television series and documentary feature that uses the mythic landscape of New York City to explore the lives of twelve male to female transsexual women as they uniquely and personally define what it means to be "t".
Set against a backdrop of their peers and taking place in a world and a society slow to grasp the change in the gender landscape, "t" is an unprecedented and unflinching look deep into the souls and lives of these women of courage and self determination, women who, just like so many others, long for the promise of the American dream but so often find that promise unfulfilled.
Some choose sex work, others work nine to five. Some are going to school, while others learn from the streets. "t" will take us into the lives of these women at a time when so much is possible for transsexual women and yet so much seems out of reach. It's a time of hope, but also of frustration. It's a time where some will rise and, sadly, some will fall. It's a time whose time has come.
