A documentary that focuses on two stories about trans but that have nothing to do with what the media often choose to show. ChicXs who have a job, a family, a life as "normal" as any other inhabitant of Argentina. Maiamar and Carla, one an actress and teacher and the other a hairdresser, tell about their daily lives, their own prejudices and those of others about being trans and how the Gender Identity Law included them in society. Despite the fact that these two cases reflected do not belong to the stereotype typical that equates cross-dressing with prostitution, both characters are in charge of emphasizing that their situation was different. Both were able to make a profession, while others saw prostitution as a single outlet. Something that after the sanction of the Law will begin to change due to the equalization of rights.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
