GendrBendr
Director: Joe Nadeau
Canada
GendrBendr is visited one morning by the biggest enemy known to trans people besides Karens – dysphoria. Dysphoria points at and mocks them through the mirror. In this video, GendrBendr receives a chest binder as a gift and discovers new joy in life (euphoria). They learn to love themselves, breaking out in dance. Gender identity is also about learning to love our trans body, like the art it is, no matter what stage of transition it is or not.
