It plays into stereotypes surrounding transgender women. I'm going to use this to discuss the portrayal of Lili in the movie and how it creates a limited view of her. ]]> 2019-05-08 19:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/358210175 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/358212639 This review argues that Gerda is the character whose story stands out and emotions actually show. It argues that Lili doesn't have enough dimension to her to let the audience into her mind, which results in her being overshadowed by Gerda's experiences. This source helps with analysis of character portrayal and the overall effectiveness of the movie.

Using the diary descriptions it defends "The Danish Girl" from some of the stereotypes that people accuse it of portraying. I will use this to show a counterargument to some of the stereotypes being portrayed. ]]> 2019-05-08 19:14:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/358216331 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/359049103 This study interviewed LGBTQ youth to gain their perspective on how transgender people are portrayed in offline media (movies and T.V.) as well as online media (social media, internet). Within the discussion it is also mentioned that all representations of transgender people in media has an impact on transgender youth because it informs how they see their identity and often reflects how society sees their identity as well. ]]> 2019-05-10 22:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/359049103 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/359050439 This analysis talks about how "The Danish Girl" takes on a more cis-normative as well as hetero-normative adaptation. Compared to the novel the movie is based on, the movie skims over the fluid nature of Gerda's sexuality. It also represents transgender as being binary to make it more acceptable to the cis-normative society, rather than portraying the entire spectrum that the term transgender covers. ]]> 2019-05-10 23:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/359050439 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/359058134 This article talks about the lack of variety in roles available to trans actors. Most roles are specifically written for transgender people, rather than allowing trans actors to play cisgender roles as well. It does discuss a few outlying roles however that have no specification of gender, which gives the audience a chance to see them as a person, not a trans person. ]]> 2019-05-11 00:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/359058134 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362324575 This article highlights some of the biggest studies recorded involving the transgender community in order to learn more about health disparities present. It found huge impacts on mental health of transgender people most likely due to the violence and discrimination they often face. ]]> 2019-05-21 21:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362324575 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362325281 This shows the evolution of the stigma surrounding the transgender community. It discusses the separation that occurred between the transgender community and the LGB community due to the placement of gender identity disorder in the DSM, which I found interesting. It also talked about the availability of health care services specific to the transgender community. ]]> 2019-05-21 21:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362325281 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362326743 This article discusses the wide range that the term "transgender" covers. It also talks about the evolution of the medical definition of transgender and its controversial placement in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Discrimination towards trans people that occurs outside of the medical community as well as within health care facilities was also included in the paper. I will be using this document to talk about the evolution in dialogue surrounding the diagnosis of "gender dysphoria syndrome" or gender dysphoria. ]]> 2019-05-21 21:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362326743 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362329049 This article basically compiles all accessible publications surrounding transgender research or scholarly articles between 1900 and 2017. In the discussion it shows a shift in the increase of research that is being conducted, as well as a switch in direction that the research is going. It helps show that there is more of an interest in the trans community which could lead to greater acceptance and improved healthcare. ]]> 2019-05-21 21:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362329049 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362340765 The director of "The Danish Girl" discusses that a change is needed in Hollywood that allows "access for trans actors to both trans and cisgender roles". He expresses that there is a large talent pool of trans actors but no available roles for them to take. This shows that the normalization of transgender people is needed, rather than focusing on their "otherness" like most of society does. ]]> 2019-05-21 22:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362340765 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362457857 Discusses the sudden increase in media exposure of trans community in 2010s, including celebrity representation. Also touches on statistics of suicide and assault in trans people. Highlights the political climate change with the take over of the Trump Administration in the White House, which can be used to talk about the importance of increased positive representation of the trans community to gain public support. ]]> 2019-05-22 08:52:23 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362457857 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362458315 2019-05-22 08:53:59 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362458315 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362459711 I found this article both interesting and appalling. It is written from a conservative (and somewhat aggressive feeling) viewpoint of the transgender community. I thought reading this would be a good opportunity to see a viewpoint that differs from my own, especially since it is not a viewpoint I typically associate myself with. There was one argument mentioned about the ethical aspect of gender affirming treatments on seemingly healthy people despite numerous risks involved, I could use this as a counterargument to the push for gender affirming medicine. Overall it is also an example of a viewpoint that does not support transgender equality and acceptance. ]]> 2019-05-22 08:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362459711 alyshagasowski https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362460097 This article discusses the changes in dialogue surrounding the diagnosis of gender identity disorder (now gender dysphoria) throughout the years. It also talks about moving away from the binary model of transgender and that more research and training is needed in order to make changes in health care that will make it more inclusive for the trans community. This can be used as an example of gaining acceptance within the medical community and a push to further improve that acceptance. ]]> 2019-05-22 09:00:21 UTC https://padlet.com/alyshagasowski/61uv1lut08h/wish/362460097
