“That trans person who is not a creative or an influencer or a Laverne or a Caitlyn - how are they going to find themselves or be able to find community or somebody to identify with, without those people being elevated and their voices being able to be heard?” Yearwood asks. Still, The Tranz Form offers something Pose and its ilk don’t: a real-life look into the lives of real-life trans people, as opposed to actors and creatives who’ve achieved celebrity status. The advent of pioneering shows like the Netflix drama Pose ushered in a new era in which trans people are portrayed as just that: people. Nonscripted shows, like those hosted by Jerry Springer and Maury Povich, have made punch lines out of trans people (and specifically black trans women) for decades, usually relying on the problematic "trap" trope for laughs.

And if you watch them in the episodes, you’ll see that the complexities in their lives naturally come up."īy contrast, when transgender people are featured in TV shows and movies, they’re often relegated to portraying "undesirable" characters or victims of violence. We wanted to make sure that we focus in on their greatness. We wanted to make people see who they are. "We wanted to make sure that it wasn't trauma porn, and that it wasn't us gathering all the mishaps and all the problems in their lives and making that into a show,” Yearwood explains. “That was why I was excited to be a part of it: It’s by us, for us.”īecause black women were both behind and in front of the camera, The Tranz Form’s storytelling is an honest look into its subjects’ lives that doesn’t sensationalize their identities or their individual experiences.

“Initially, I was very excited just because it was created by black queer women and it centered the lives of black trans women, because of the murders that had been taking place,” says Roundtree, an activist and speaker who founded the Bridging the Gap book club, which focuses on queer and trans youth of color. The Tranz Form chronicles the daily lives of Brielle Roundtree, Elle Williams, and Xaria James, three local transfeminine people, each with their own views of the world around them and the genders they identify with. And the girls were just so open and willing to be so transparent and vulnerable that it just really gave me the freedom to ask anything.”

“I was very cognizant of just capturing their truth. “We're only going to come together as a community - cis and trans - if we understand each other, and I think trans folks just have not had the platform just to be themselves: regular people showing and giving their perspective, which is so different and so unique,” Choe says of the project. Yearwood reached out to videographer Carrie Choe to help bring the project to life. "That was one of my goals with creating this show: to save a life, honestly.” “I wanted to create something that was going to inform folks and let people have some type of understanding and then grow compassion - see themselves in these people and then have empathy - and hopefully at the end of it, save a life," Yearwood says. Yearwood's aim - to “create something that is going to show the motion and the movement of trans people of color” - led to the birth of The Tranz Form, a docuseries that follows trans people in Miami and portrays its subjects as humans first, with the same emotions, issues, triumphs, and struggles we all face in our own lives. “I was just like, Nah, I need to figure out what I can do for real for real.” “It happened in our back yard, in the city that I love, in the city that I praise without pause,” Yearwood tells New Times. Yet, at the same time, more trans people have faced violence and death from Mississippi to Miami.įantroy’s murder marked the moment when artist, advocate, author, and motivational speaker Octavia Yearwood sprang into action. This presents a troubling paradox: During the same period, trans people have become increasingly visible in mainstream media - from Caitlyn Jenner and Laverne Cox to the dozens of young trans actors, musicians, and creatives who have emerged to make their mark on popular culture - while activists have worked to secure the protection of trans rights in the Supreme Court and beyond. The epidemic of violence against trans people - specifically black trans women - has continued to worsen with each passing year of the past decade. At that point, Fantroy was at least the 15th black trans woman murdered in 2019 - a number that by year's end would nearly double. One night last summer, 21-year-old Kiki Fantroy was killed after shots rang out in Goulds.
