I chose the “The Laughing Track,” by Crookers in attempting to articulate how the nation state produces fear for trans women of color but also how their sexual attractions as trans women of color are mediated by the nation state..
I am a fan of the show Orange is the New Black because of its interesting plot line and funny characters. I found an article called, ”Laverne Cox is Amazing on the Cover of Time, Time’s Story Inside Not So Much,” and it displays the actress Loverne Cox on the front cover of Time. Loverne Cox is a transgender women and in the show she plays the role of Sophia Burset. The article discusses the activism Loverne Cox’s does and believes in. I found it to be very interesting and informative to know the struggles a person of color who is in the lgbtq community encounters. I am aware that our class is focused on Latina/o Sexualities ;however, in the Latino community there are women of color who are transgender and face discrimination.
