Trans people make up a small percentage of the U.S. population. But hundreds of bills around the country are threatening their ability to thrive.
"Dear Noah: Pages from a Family Diary" (premiering Tuesday at the Meet the Press Film Festival at DOC NYC) is an NBC OUT short-form documentary that tells the story of Katie Laird and her 15-year-old transgender son Noah, of Houston, Texas, who choose to leave their native Texas for a safer haven in Denver, Colorado, amid fears of anti-trans legislation's ramifications.
It's one of many films, series and documentaries to explore this Trans Awareness Week to get better educated about the transgender experience.
“There is a coordinated and intentional disinformation campaign targeting trans people, especially youth, right now," says Alex Schmider, filmmaker and director of transgender representation at GLAAD. "It’s critical that people seek out credible resources and experts."
For background: Transgender adults make up less than 2% of the U.S. population; about 5% of young adults identify as transgender or nonbinary. More than 300 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in 2022, according to Human Rights Campaign .
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott issued an order in February directing the state’s child-welfare agency to investigate providers of gender-affirming care for youth. (A district judge has since granted temporary protection from Abbott’s order to member families of PFLAG under a lawsuit filed by Lambda Legal and Texas’ American Civil Liberties Union.)
What "Dear Noah" depicts isn't some grand political game. It depicts a few months of a family grappling with unimaginable choices because of some grand political game politicians are playing.
"We were just living a very, very challenging part of our lives, but had some reassurance in some weird way, that what we were going through wasn't going to be for nothing," Katie Laird says.
Given that gender-affirming care in Texas was in jeopardy – and given the looming threat of losing her children – Laird made the difficult choice to leave the state.
She knew the importance of having the story documented, and felt safe with reporters and later a larger documentary team: "We knew that we could do it, even though it was hard, and it hurt. But we just felt like it was needed. We needed another positive perspective on the humanity of trans kids and their families."
And that's what scenes in the film looks like – slices of a simple life amid chaos. Laird dropping Noah at school. Noah taking the dog for a walk with his brother. Noah skateboarding, playing the guitar. But it doesn't sugarcoat the moment either: Laird often cries, we see signs of self-harm on Noah's arms and then, of course, reality sets in they must leave their home.
NBC, too, wanted to capture the moment and had the resources to make it work visually. "The trust in these kinds of stories are paramount, and the trust that Katie had with both the reporters, the producers, that's what really enables us to take a close-up look at this point in time for that family," says Catherine Kim, SVP, global digital news for NBC News and MSNBC. The documentary will later air on NBC News NOW Nov. 18 at 10:30 p.m. ET and will stream on Peacock.
While the family is grateful to be in Denver, "we are heartbroken to be forced from our home," Laird says.
Stories like Noah's captured both the trauma and joy of a life – the latter of which is sorely lacking for transgender people in media representations.
Schmider encourages "the media to expand its focus beyond transition, tragedy, and trauma, and share more modern stories of love, agency, and acceptance."
Laird says that "what is the most remarkable about (the trans community) is not the fact that they're trans. It's the fact that they have pushed through such adversity, they've gone so deep in themselves, and in a lot of cases have been able to come out the other side, and live exceedingly beautiful and hopeful and lovely lives."
Fictional stories, too, are beneficial for education. "You can present people in certain contexts that allow you to recognize what trans and cis people share and how that shared humanity not only is important, but maybe the difference between them isn't that big of a deal," says Traci Abbott, assistant professor of English and media studies at Bentley University and author of " The History of Trans Representation in American Television and Film Genres ."
"Let people define who they are, and then just move forward from there," Abbott adds.

Het is Transgender Awareness Week, een week waarin extra bewustzijn rondom transgender personen en non-binaire centraal staat. Om hier een handje mee te helpen zetten we de beste documentaires over transgenders en non-binaire personen voor je op een rij.
Heartstopper is een Britse dramaserie, waarin een groep vrienden op hun middelbare school wordt gevolgd in hun dagelijkse leven. Een breed scala aan personages komt voorbij: homoseksueel, biseksueel, transgender, hetero, non-binair, noem maar op. In tegenstelling tot andere series wordt in Hearstopper vrijwel geen gebruik gemaakt van stereotypering, maar is iedereen ‘een normale scholier’ met zijn of haar eigen problemen en situaties.
Deze serie speelt zich op dezelfde school af als de film Love, Simon en brengt de vooroordelen en problemen op scholen in beeld die jongeren ervaren wanneer zij uit de kast komen. Ook deze serie laat een breed scala aan lbhtiq+-personen zien, zonder enige stereotypering. De hoofdpersoon in de serie, Victor, is één van de sterspelers van het basketbalteam. Zijn (homoseksuele) liefdesleven wordt in beeld gebracht en is 'vrij' turbulent, wat absoluut níét met zijn geaardheid te maken heeft.
In de documentaire Disclosure komen transgender acteurs en regisseurs aan het woord over de problematische verbeelding van transgender personen in de mediawereld. Het is absoluut geen makkelijke film en het heeft een enorme lading. De documentaire laat zien waar het misgaat in de mediawereld en vooral ook hoe het beter kan.
Vertaald naar het Nederlands betekent het Lola naar de zee. In de film wordt de jonge transgender vrouw Mia gevolgd. Na het overlijden van haar moeder reist ze samen met haar vader, die niet accepteert hoe Mia is, naar de kust om de laatste wens van haar moeder te vervullen. De rol van Mia wordt vervuld door een non-binaire acteur en om haar zo prettig mogelijk te laten voelen bij het script werd er naar haar eigen ervaringen en visie geluisterd. Dit maakt de film nét een beetje mooier.
In de documentaire wordt de non-binaire transgender Ryan gevolgd. Ryan raakt zwanger en loop gedurende de documentaire tegen verschillende problemen aan, zoals het níet aan kunnen vragen van zwangerschapsverlof. In de film is het zichtbaar hoe strijdlustig Ryan en diens partner zijn en hoe graag ze het kindje verwelkomen, ondanks alle obstakels. De documentaire wordt uitgezonden door BNNVARA.
Dit is een bekendere serie bij het grote publiek. In de serie worden taboes over het seksleven van jongeren verbroken en worden héél veel dingen in alle openheid besproken. Ook hier wordt een breed scala aan lhbtiq+-personen vertegenwoordigd en loopt iédereen tegen dezelfde, vooral herkenbare, dingen aan.

‘It’s not against Islam’: Pakistani trans actor tells of deep sadness over film ban

Exclusive: Alina Khan, star of award-winning Joyland, speaks out as the movie’s licence for domestic release is revoked, putting its Oscar contention in doubt
The transgender star of an award-winning Pakistan film that depicts a love affair between a man and a trans women has said she is very sad at the government’s decision to ban the movie and hopes it will be reversed.
Alina Khan, who stars in Joyland, the first major Pakistani motion picture to feature a trans actor in a lead role, said: “I’ve been very sad. There’s nothing against Islam and I don’t understand how Islam can get endangered by mere films.”
The 24-year-old added: “The Pakistani trans community was also very upset.”
Joyland, which is Pakistan’s contender at the Oscars, was to go on national release on Friday, but was banned over the weekend following pressure from hardline Islamic groups who called the film “repugnant”.
Set in Lahore, the film tells the story of Haider, a married man who joins a dance troupe and falls in love with the lead transgender dancer, Biba, played by Khan.
Khan told the Guardian she adores Biba.
“She’s a badass, strong-willed, fiercely independent, dominating, outspoken woman, everything that I am not; I loved the role I played,” said Khan. When she was offered the role, she was relieved not to play an “oppressed” character “which is the life for most transgenders in Pakistan”.
Khan said she was rejected by her family when she came out as trans. “My family did not accept me, but neither did society.” She was told she embarrassed relatives, and her mother was constantly angry with her. “She would tell me not to make exaggerated hand gestures like a woman while talking, to sit like a boy and not be in the company of girls,” said Khan. Her siblings called her khusra – a derogatory term, which was originally used to refer to eunuchs but is also a slur against trans people. But as Khan said: “I had never met a transgender [person] in my life so did not know what they were like.”
Joyland has been hailed on the festival circuit. It was the first Pakistani film to be selected as an official entry at Cannes in May, winning two festival awards and receiving a standing ovation in a packed Salle Debussy theatre.
“Tears were trickling down my face while I continued smiling. I don’t know whether the tears were of joy, were for all the hard work that I put in, or for my struggles since I was a child and that continue,” said Khan, who made her screen debut in the short film Darling in 2019. “For the first time in my life, I felt my talent preceded my gender, I was given so much respect.”
After such international success, her family welcomed her with open arms. “They accepted me finally. They realised that I was not earning by begging or doing sex work,” she said.
In August Joyland won best film from the subcontinent at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne, last month it received the top award at Zagreb’s film festival and it is Pakistan’s entry for best international feature film at next year’s Oscars, which has received the backing of the Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai , who joined the film as executive producer.
However, the film had caused controversy at home. Mushtaq Ahmad Khan, a senator in the Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party, called Joyland “cultural terrorism” and criticised the government for the “shameless” act of allowing its release. “I condemn it and will use every legal step to stop Joyland’s release,” he said. “Glamourising transgenders in Pakistan, as well as their love affairs, is a direct attack on our beliefs.”
He is spearheading a campaign to repeal the 2018 law that enshrined transgender rights in Pakistan law.

Cancelling the film’s licence, which puts its Oscars’ contention in doubt, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, said: “Written complaints were received that the film contains highly objectionable material which do not conform with the social values and moral standards of our society and is clearly repugnant to the norms of ‘decency and morality’ as laid down in Section 9 of the Motion Picture Ordinance, 1979”.
Shahzadi Rai, a Karachi rights activist, was not surprised by the ban. “Of course this was expected. We’re going towards religious extremism. I think soon Pakistan will become another Afghanistan. The trans community is extremely disappointed in the government for caving in to the pressure of the clerics.”
She added that Alina Khan had “put us up in the mainstream in a good way”.
Lucky Khan, a trans singer, said seeing such a film win awards was awesome. “I’d only seen our community begging on streets, performing dances or in commercial sex work.”
Merub Moiz Awan, a trans woman, tweeted : “Had a cisgender woman or man instead of Alina Khan played the role of a khwajasira dancer, they’d have had no issues with it. But because it’s an actual khwajasira doing so, they have issues. They want khwajasira people to be just begging in the streets.”
The international success of Joyland has brought Alina Khan other film offers. “I would like us to be more visible in showbiz as we are very much part of society, like men, women and children are,” she says, adding: “This film deserves an Oscar … it deserves all the awards out there.
“I hope I have opened doors for others in our community, to pursue their dreams.”
