Video Post: Transgender Labels, Literally

by Jessica De Leon on June 9, 2010

top of character wheelI am back on my regular video schedule, and this time I’ve broached the subject of labels, specifically within the Transgender community.

As I’ve stated before, I think there is way too much pressure, both from outside society and some within our community to live up to certain expectations. Unfortunately, these labels can do more harm than good in most cases.

I feel strongly about this and always advocate for people to just be themselves and forget all of the hype surrounding these labels.

Of course, as I am wont to do, I have parodied the whole matter and while I don’t feel this is one of my funnier videos, I hope that I get my point across in a humorous way. Enjoy and don’t forget to share! :)

Funny! So many labels, so little time. By the way, what’s the designer’s label on your sweater?
