BEING Trans documents the lived experiences of four transgender individuals—Chloe Corcoran, Sy Clark Chan, Jeffrey Jay, and Mariana Marroquin—through an audio reality lens. The narrative explores the intersection of gender identity with dating, family dynamics, and long-term relationships. Chloe faces the public humiliation of being stood up, highlighting the vulnerability inherent in seeking connection, while Sy grapples with fears that physical transition might alienate a romantic partner. Jeffrey Jay examines the friction between personal authenticity and familial political shifts, and Mariana seeks self-discovery during a trip to Guatemala. These stories emphasize that while education can mitigate fear, the daily reality of transitioning involves navigating societal expectations and profound internal uncertainty. The documentary-style format captures unscripted moments of joy, rejection, and the pursuit of emotional fulfillment, illustrating the complexities of maintaining a sense of self while navigating a world that often demands conformity.
