Artist Statement from the Trans Artists Collaborative:  
To live a life as a Transgender person is to be misunderstood, discriminated against, bullied, and often isolated by spouses, family, friends, and co-workers.  Personal identity has become politicized to the point that across the nation, state legislatures have introduced hundreds of bills to limit Transgender care, respect, and basic human rights. Many of those bills have become law. As individuals, we are under personal attack for simply living our authentic lives.
 
Despite the barriers, Trans persons who sort through the confusion, obstacles, and barriers which confront us and the world in which we live, can and do embrace our authentic selves. With support, acceptance and our own inner conviction we experience profound joy and peace. Gender euphoria replaces gender dysphoria.
 
Those who enter The Transperience will experience a personal understanding of the joys, sorrows, trials and celebrations of Trans life. The stories and testimonials in The Transperience are deeply personal. They are stories of successfully navigating a life as a transgender person. The Transperience is an often a moving and emotional experience for viewers.
