“I wanted to make the film “In My Skin” because I couldn’t find many images of trans men of color,” shared Miguel Ruelas at a recent screening of his documentary. “In My Skin” follows Miguel over 6 months as he begins taking T-shots and as his family reacts with varying levels of acceptance and support.

His story will be one of many shared as part of the Queer People of Color Conference April 8-10, 2011 @ UC Riverside. Trans/Giving, an L.A.-based collective of artists and filmmakers showcasing the immense talents of trans, genderqueer, and intersex people, will be screening Trans People of Color films and articles "Intersectionality Unveiled: Discussions at the QPOC Conference", "Digital Literacy Essentials: Preparing Students for the Future" at the QPOC Conference.
