Cinematic trans representation is something that’s been limited mainly to narrative fiction and documentary. What’s been lacking is a push to explore how cinema as a tool can be used to depict and examine trans identities.

Grey Violet (not he or she, but ze) is a mathematician by profession, an activist by heart, and one of those who has had to leave Russia for fear of imprisonment.
