“Pink Boys and Blue Girls” collects the testimonies of transgender children and adolescents and their families in Chile. It was produced and premiered in 2015 with the support of the Transitar Foundation and is now available to watch online.
" It is the first documentary about transgender children and youth made in Latin America and accompanied dozens of workshops and training sessions given during 2015-2016 by the Transitar Foundation. As a way to raise awareness, it was very effective, always accompanied by more critical content and the intensive social work that Transitar carried out during its two years of existence."
Today, more and more environments for trans children and youth are becoming visibly organized; there is already a Trans School Coexistence Circular (which is being rapidly superseded by non-binary gender expressions in school age); School Cross-Dressing Day has been established (a horror for teachers and officials jealous of other interests. For us, a creative way to contribute to sexual and feminist education).
Today, trans children exist as a visible community practice with somewhat more freedom and epistemological depth. I believe that what's coming is to increasingly distance ourselves from institutional discourse by building our own collectives and languages. To generate our own culture. On the other hand, and since the gesture of "coming out into the world" has already been successfully accomplished, I would like to see a refinement of media exposure. And, above all, a thorough deconstruction of the restrictions of the conventional family model and its outdated practices," says Niki Raveau, a trans activist and researcher at Transitar.



Excuse me, I'd like to get in touch with the guys who appear in this documentary because ever since I saw it, something stirred within me, something tells me I have to talk to them. Please, if you could tell me how to contact them, I would be very grateful.
