I’ve been watching TransGeneration recently, and it’s basically just a reality TV show that caters to perverse cis curiosity about trans folks.
it has so many fucked up moments, but one of the ones I found amusing was when they took footage of Gabbie the trans woman cutting up hot dogs:
Then just to make sure we didn’t miss the metaphor they zoom in and really focus on her cutting the hot dogs:
just, lmao
Similar thing happens with the trans woman in Orange is the New Black. Is this a trope or what?
they show her cutting hotdogs!? ha, I didn’t remember that
A cucumber or sth IIRC. But it is like the camera focuses on the deed. Seemed very deliberate.
