Oscar-nominated film tackles transphobic harassment

[Social Media]

Night Ride may only be a short film, but it has a twisty plot, opening with its heroine, Ebba, accidentally stealing a tram and driving it through Norway's dark, snowy streets.

She'd only clambered on to keep warm, but decides she's rather enjoying herself, and carries on collecting passengers as she heads home.

One of them is a transgender woman, Ariel, who attracts the attention of two men sitting nearby.

Things escalate pretty quickly and the men become aggressive. Their fellow passengers look on uncomfortably, doing nothing rather than risking getting involved.

Reading the OP, 2 idiots could harass anyone, for any excuse, whether: race, religion, sex, disability, age, dress, or simply being a ginger, from what I read.

 

Everyone may and can get harassed.  Most times, a bus, train, plane, carriage full of people don't want to get involved.  Not knowing if the harassers are nutters or armed.

 

Guess trans are the flavor of the week, month, year, decade.

 

Please, we need another reminder how different and included you should be.

 

Is there anyone, ever, that didn't get harassed one time or another.   We got harassed for having long hair, living on the other side of the tracks (literally), and being poor.   

 

And associating with black folks ... 'damn negro lovers' ????

 

Cry me a river....????
