Trans TV’: transgender or/and transformation?

  Since the collective viewing audience is primarily made up of the heteronormative Cisgender public, it is essential to understand the history of Trans representation in cinema and other media. Receptive viewers can gain a broader view of gender identity and gender expression.

Amanda Lotz, the American author, emphasises the importance of a subscriber-funded model in determining content in a very different way than advertiser-funded models of television, as well as how ‘it enables television content creators to more directly connect with audiences.’

Netflix understood the subscriber content well and how the subscriber wanted to see it. With the original production, Netflix became a platform with the exclusivity of the film and movies and not only a movie rental service.

The concept of The Trans TV project linked technological and industry advancements to televisual content transformations on streaming platforms, with a focus on the appearance of transgender, non-binary, and other queer figures on high-profile television shows.

The appearance of trans TV shows the transformation of television and the progress of old-school TV.

Trans television is also a reflection of society’s change because, in the past, homosexuality and transgender were taboo topics, but today they are a part of our lives. Transgender and homosexuality were also underrepresented in the media. It has become more acceptable to express one’s sexuality and gender openly as society has developed.

We can see that Euphoria touches on issues such as teenage drug use, transgender issues, bullying, and homosexuality. The production company of Euphoria HBO is responding to the trans TV as a transformation because of the unusual, shocking content. For example, one of the characters, Jules, is a transgender woman. Through the series, we can see how life is to be transgender and, all around his sexuality, how Jules feels as a teenage transgender woman.
