This a personal history of trans visibility since the beginning of moving images. A literary reckoning, it unearths a transcestry that's long existed in plain sight and in the shadows of history's annals, and further contextualizes our present moment of increased representation. 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. The films and television shows that Tre'vell Anderson covers include: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, Psycho, Holiday Heart, RuPaul's Drag Race and much more.
