I think irresponsible for the interviewer to not disclose to them the level of hate and bias, trans people experience in the United States. It is exactly the same as Lebanon and I live in New York City and people don't fool yourselves that just because it's New York you not gonna get beat or raped discriminated against or be able to get a job as a trans person. It doesn't really work like that especially not for trans women.

[@kommisar.]

You're really bad at this lying thing, so maybe you should try to get good at something else, something actually productive. Lebanon provides absolutely NO legal protections for trans people when it comes to discrimination or "hate crimes", and in fact CRIMINALIZES it, whereas the US openly celebrates trans people with several extremely moronic and redundant holidays. Where are all the Lebanese corporations and politicians expressing support for trans? Is the Lebanese prime minister hiring trans people to his staff and having trans people come to the capital and all that? Where are all the trans flags being flown openly in Lebanon? Do they respect trans people's pronouns, or allow them to use the bathroom of their choosing? Your comment couldn't be more dishonest and idiotic.

Do you understand that it's possible to address more than one social issue at a time, right? Don't use what's happening in Palestine to silence discussions about other social problems. Liberation needs to be global, it needs to be for EVERYONE, without exception. Because when we allow society to dehumanize a group of people, we dehumanize ourselves as well - as Ilam Pappe aptly stated about the colonial tactics used in Palestine. Whether LGBT, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Christian, atheist, black, brown... whatever it may be, we are all human and deserve to have: freedom, security, and belonging. The fact that you, along with others in this comment section, are criticizing the documentary (and some being quite prejudiced) only underscores the need to address the issue.

I’ve seen signs on campus that say Palestine is very supportive of the LGTBQ+ community and vice versa

[@MichaelHalko]

Search gays in Gaza. They are beheaded or pushed off rooftops on the regular.

[@mcstaford]

Oh yes, they'll SUPPORT you......SUPPORT you as your hands and ankles are tied and you are thrown off the roof!

[@BrutusAlbion]

They'll support you by giving you that gentle push that drops you off a roof.

[@mcstaford]

NO organization based in Islam supports ANY LGBTetc. rights or agendas. Do not be fooled by the Western leftist propaganda .

[@ska66i6al]

​@@mcstafordsounds like a good idea.

[@bmxrider8188]

I dont recommend Palestine to live. There is no tolerance there

[@hieithefox]

The amount of transphobia in this comment section wtf people also Vice can talk about what they want trans issues are human rights issues and often are in tandem with other peoples issues

[@unboxedcharacter]

That TN trans shooter doesn’t really help. Wonder why they haven’t said anything about that

[@warmbeergamingdude]

Yea but there was time where they covered current events in depth and presented stuff like this on the side on other channels. This is not news, this is sensationalism. There are ppl dying all over the place c’mon man

[@Ofasia777]

@@warmbeergamingdude They still do. It just so happen that transphobic people have found the one channel that regularly feature stories about lgtb people. And apparently, they really, really like clicking on those stories to complain about it while they could, you know, just don't. Or go to any other channels that will repeat the same old news they all do.

@@warmbeergamingdude News definition: _Information about recent events or happenings, especially as reported by means of newspapers, websites, radio, television, and other forms of media_ This would fall under a happening. If a local news station covered a state fair, would that not be news? 60 Minutes actively does character profiles and that's considered news yet you don't go around commenting about that, do you? It's time to examine your own biases.

[@ska66i6al]

Better start learning a way to fly. The rooftops are calling your names and there's plenty of us who want to answer their call! Cry about it

[@kaykay2000]

What’s next is counselling please people get some do you can deal with your trauma cause people are tired of the crap. People have real serious issues beyond their control.

[@Rippypoo]

I'm sure some trans people are getting counseling. I'm sure a lot of them are tired of the crap that's happening to them. Thanks for being a voice for them.

[@actorQ]

I wouldn’t want that thing working at my failing business either.

[@simpleman8055]

They should send all trans there worldwide so they can help each other

[@MarcAss_OG_2017]

Do a documentary on the scientific and cultural study of the LBGTQ+ community and how it came to be. Then they could talk about their problems as common people in society on a knowledgeable basis

[@MarcAss_OG_2017]

I Fell off at the end there😅

[@unboxedcharacter]

They should do one on the percentages of lgbtqp in 2020 when covid happened. Seems like people got bored

[@RobbedPierre]

They already wrote a book about it. It's called the DSM-5.

[@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx]

@@RobbedPierre Are you saying that all LGBTQ+ people are mentally ill? I think you might need to think again. Plus, the DSM is hardly a source of good quality science.

[@Drbob369]

both of them?
