| | | | “There’s often this particular pressure that follows queer adults around as we move through the world. Be healed. Be self-aware. Be trauma-informed. Be politically sharp. Be inspiring. If we’re going to gather? Make it meaningful.
If we’re going to talk? Make it educational.
If we’re going to dance? Make it cathartic.
If we’re going to rest? Make it restorative.
Basically, if we’re going to exist? It better be revolutionary.” |

| IMPORTANT DAY HIGHLIGHTSINTERNATIONAL TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITYwritten by Tegwen This day has meant 500 different things to me over the last decade. There was one year when it made me mad… “What, am I invisible the rest of the year?” And there was another year when it made me cry… with joy. My social media feed was filled with stunning trans icons who made me feel a new kind of beautiful. Alok Vaid-Menon slicking their body hair into gorgeous wiggles made me proud to be an otter/bear. Visibility isn’t just about spreading awareness or cisgender allies learning to say that people like me can exist. It’s actually not as much about you as you might think. It’s about us. Making shit actually about me is a FEAR. So on March 31st… I will practice doing whatever the fuck I want. And at Quamp, we all can! |

| '“DISCLOSURE is an unprecedented, eye-opening look at transgender depictions in film and television, revealing how Hollywood simultaneously reflects and manufactures our deepest anxieties about gender. Leading trans thinkers and creatives, including Laverne Cox, Lilly Wachowski, Yance Ford, Mj Rodriguez, Jamie Clayton, and Chaz Bono, share their reactions and resistance to some of Hollywood’s most beloved moments. |

| Grappling with films like A Florida Enchantment (1914), Dog Day Afternoon, The Crying Game, and Boys Don’t Cry, and with shows like The Jeffersons, The L-Word, and Pose, they trace a history that is at once dehumanizing, yet also evolving, complex, and sometimes humorous. What emerges is a fascinating story of dynamic interplay between trans representation on screen, society’s beliefs, and the reality of trans lives. Reframing familiar scenes and iconic characters in a new light, director Sam Feder invites viewers to confront unexamined assumptions, and shows how what once captured the American imagination now elicit new feelings. DISCLOSURE provokes a startling revolution in how we see and understand trans people.” → Learn more |
