Gender Talks: Transgender Modes to Decode

60 minutes

Girls should be sweet and beautiful like Cinderella and boys should be big and tough like Batman. Popular culture is filled with such social codes, codes that tell us how to behave. But for those of us who won't conform to that one-size-fits-all marketing mold, it’s not as self-evident to know who our heroines or heroes are. If you are unsure about your gender identity, or if you differ from society's gender norms, who can you identify with?

Petra van Dijk, Jiro Ghianni, Eliza Steinbock, and Rein Anspach challenge your perceptions by sharing pop-culture fragments that influenced them throughout their lives.
