They really are!
Even with all the negativity coming out of the Republican party we still are making progress. That’s why the Republican are freaking out and going to those draconian extremes.
Will Ferrell urges straight cis fans to watch his new trans film: ‘You’ll be surprised’

September 23, 2024Anchorman star Will Ferrell has urged fans to watch his new documentary film Will & Harper, in which he and his trans friend, Harper Steele, embark on a cross-country road trip.
Will & Harper begins with Steele telling Ferrell, her friend of 30 years, that she is transitioning.
The duo met on Saturday Night Live in 1995, when Ferrell joined the cast as a comedy newcomer and Steele was writing for the sketch show.
In their new two-hour film, they take a trip over two weeks and use it as an opportunity to ask each other important questions, and establish what their friendship will look like going forward. It’s also a chance for Steele to visit some of the macho haunts she used to love in and around her home town, such as dive bars and dirt racetracks, to see if she’s still welcome.
It was only a few years I was writing about the lack of trans people in the movies, now I am glad to see more movies about trans people and trans people in movies.
Yeah, you will probably hear a lot of negative bull coming out the usual naysayers but how many straight people will watch it and walk away thinking what so bad about us, they are just like us.Will Ferrell Says Trans Community’s Support of ‘Will & Harper’ Has “Blown Us Away”

September 20, 2024When longtime friends Will Ferrell and Harper Steele — a former head writer at Saturday Night Live who came out as a trans woman in 2021 — decided to film their cross-country road trip documentary Will & Harper, it came after several months of discussing whether to open up their personal lives on camera.
“The ultimate selling point, I don’t want to sound like a politician or altruistic, but there were a lot of trans bills, a lot of legislation being introduced, legislation across every state, across the country and it’s still looking a little restrictive and maybe a little dire for trans people,” Steele told The Hollywood Reporter at the film’s L.A. premiere on Thursday. “I don’t know if this movie is going to change hearts and minds, but you have to try to do something with your life and we felt like this might be useful.”
“Harper loves to do these cross-country road trips, she’s done hundreds of them, and since she had transitioned she hadn’t done any,” director Josh Greenbaum explained. “Will realized that and she was kind of lamenting the fact that she wasn’t sure if she felt safe, so the idea really started there because Will said, ‘Why don’t I fly to New York and I’ll be by your side for your first cross-country road trip as Harper.'”
This reminds me of when Lauren Graham in Gnome escorts a just out trans girl into the bathroom for the first time.
