The way that men in particular did treat us was a significant source of this rage, and the trans women we spoke to also felt this way. However, despite feeling a lot of pain and hurt over how our sexual partners treated us, we also experienced an odd disconnect between the language used by most ( cis)women to explain their interactions with men.
This was brought up when we discussed our certain instances of sexual assault. In response, the execute also developed into a offense: how do we express, justify, and recover from these events in our own language? And we favored this hot-pin, hyperpop, pink female environment that has been torn down and messed up with all kinds of clutter and debris to eradicate this pain.
Our personal twisted method of finding group is also based on this autopsy feeling. People frequently assume that group, particularly gay communities, is centered around joy and pleasure, and the display embodies this need. It also fosters community near painful experiences.
These shared experiences of suffering, where trans women do n’t necessarily see their own experiences reflect back to them on stage or in the media, are profoundly unifying. So much of people feel less alone and less stigmatized when two transgender girls support one another and act as sisters and brothers on stage and say,” We’ve experienced this to.” is said. In and after the show, there is room for society and satisfaction, but apparently counterintuitively, it is the moments of pain and horror that create room for it.
The real heart of the show is these unspoken emotions: trans women want to say, want to hear, but are n’t exactly sure what to do at the moment. We have combined all of these encounters to create a hot- pink tapestry that is enjoyable, lively, and truly packs a punch.
The Soho Theatre in London will house Laurie Ward as a writer and actor in the film 52 Monologues for Young Transsexuals until March 16.
