Part of Your World
Few credit Walt Disney’s “The Little Mermaid” for the powerful statement it makes in busting open and addressing the struggles involved in trans-body identity issues. This video is a karaoke sing-along that attempts to try to both bring up the ideas and vernacular of trans-body identity, and to try to point out broader implications in the hopes of taking another baby-step towards the normalization of this dialogue. If nothing else it’s an excuse for me to sing a song from the “Little Mermaid.” My gender is mermaid.
Elements of the video change depending on the performance. The project was originally made as a birthday present for my friend Kendra Gaeta. This version I made for Mary Tyler Moore.
