The documentary film Transgender Tuesdays provides a uniquely intimate experience, letting viewers go beyond labels and learn from practices used in the first primary care clinic specifically for trans people. Viewers hear about the lives of eight of the patients who came to the Transgender Tuesdays clinic in San Francisco starting in 1993. Their stories reach back to the 1950s, recall the sexual freedom movement of the 1960s, drug ravages of the ’70s, Women’s and GLB (and finally T) Liberation in the ’80s, and the HIV epidemic and queer activism of the ’90s.
