We See Each Other: A Black, Trans Journey Through TV and Film by Tre'vell Anderson
4.0
I think I will probably need to re-visit this book, even just to get some film recs! I loved learning the "trancestry" as the author calls it.
Pro: I related to Tre'vell about Payless SO. MUCH. ugh I miss it as a bigfoot, it was the best affordable shoe store that carried large sizes and had them organized BY SIZE, THAT WAS SO IMPORTANT. RIP Payless
Con: I didn't like how Zeke from Survivor was included (knowing this book would focus on black trans representation) only to be dismissed pretty quickly with a line of 'this wouldn't have had the same support for a black trans person'. I 100% recognize what Tre'vell was stating but it did feel odd because I don't remember any other white example (even Some Like It Hot) being treated with that same quick dismissal. (I also could be biased as a big Survivor fan and a big Zeke fan)
