Perspectives S35/Ep20 We See Each Other: A Black Trans Journey Through TV and Film

WE SEE EACH OTHER is a personal history of trans visibility since the beginning of moving images by Tre’vell Anderson. A literary reckoning, it unearths a transcestry that’s long existed in plain sight and in the shadows of history, and further contextualizes this present moment of increased representation. Though there have been trans memoirs and histories, there has never been a book quite like this, nor a conversation like this on Perspectives. Tre'vell says, "I don’t remember exactly when I was taught to hate myself." As the narrative unfolds, Tre’vell knits together the history of trans people on screen with stories of their life growing up and their formative experiences as a Black, trans journalist.
