Transgender Tuesdays tells the story of the Tom Waddell Health Center, the first low-cost public health clinic opened specifically for transgender clients, in the heart of San Francisco.
The film addresses the dire need for and specific needs of transgender health care through in-depth interviews with patients who have long been marginalized.
The intriguing stories of these courageous patients at times horrify and other times inspire. Alarming statistics of bullying, violence, abuse, homelessness, addiction and suicide roll on screen—all resulting from the daily discrimination trans folks face from all sides—medical, judicial, economic, social, educational and familial.
While the “Bad Old Days” are not yet over, narrator Veronica Klaus beams about the most significant change: transgender people are helping each other navigate the system and avoid its pitfalls—and taking control of their right to medical care.
