A common conservative trope — and "justification" for anti-trans behavior and lawmaking — is the idea that cis-men will pretend they're trans in order to sneak into women's locker rooms. So trans filmmaker Siobhan McCarthy made it the premise of their movie, "She's the He." The Amanda Bynes comedy "She's the Man" had spoken to them deeply as a teenager and sparked a conversation with friend and co-editor Will Geare about trans stories they wished they'd seen when they were younger. “I made a joke about, what if we took that conservative fear of [trans people] going into the bathrooms and we really played that out?” McCarthy told nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqnz2ucf0rhxxfadcynf5as83cvdqrxlerp4qlsdxmvj3urm8svglqmvq0kj (nprofile…q0kj). Here's more about the resulting movie, which received a standing ovation at South By Southwest.
