Article: What It Means to Be Trans In Hollywood These Days

When you live near Hollywood, and have worked with the entertainment industry business folks for years as part of your unintentional career it is fun to see the changes coming and happening.  When I retired in 2011 I thought my connections to "The Industry" were over, but I stumbled back into things in 2015 when I volunteered to work with what I thought was going to be a small "community chorus of Trans people" as an amateur tech and behind-the-scenes support person. I did not see that a group of Transgender Singers were going to have the connections to the movie and television industry that have come about in the past three years.  Back-up for three NAME musicians, and smaller parts on stage with other NAME groups. 

 

With the exception of Nicole Maines  I have met every person named in this article, been a background artist in two TV shows., been in a documentary film. auditioned for a movie role, and met some of the most amazing Trans people around.  I have been onstage for six of the12 major productions done by my Chorus and was doing tech in 5 of the others.  The list goes on.  How did I get myself into this?  I even have an agent who only handles Trans / NB although nothing has come from there so far .  Yikes.  What is wrong with me??  

My personal feeling is that Trans people are natural actors and actresses, and that we can do the more gender fluid roles with a realistic ease that even the best name cis actors do not do as well.  I doubt  that any of us will get rich from it, but as you come out, be proud and know your public awaits you if you look for it.
