#there's a part of this that also talks about stereotyping of roles -- ex. reading *hooker* roles with more *accent*

caroline cossey, sandra caldwell, elizabeth coffey, you truly have been doing the most. 

#queer stuff #trans stuff #trans history #movie history #am thinking about what it takes to be considered a *correct* woman and how these three artists have three different stories #cossey was outed after her small role in a bond film -- coffey has been out as far as i can tell her whole life -- #caldwell i think came out in 2015 after a long career #watching videos about rita moreno -- and one thing that struck me was her linking her experiences with racism to homophobia #as well as racism faced by others which led her to civil rights #there's a part of this that also talks about stereotyping of roles -- ex. reading *hooker* roles with more *accent* #and am of course reminded of how pretty much every trans woman has played a sex worker (often one who dies) #racism and transphobia goes hand in hand #these notes are a completely different post but sometimes ive gotta write down where i was at whn i had thoughts
