My Genderation is an ongoing film project celebrating trans lives and experience. In 2011 Fox Fisher and Lewis Hancox both took part in a mainstream documentary in the UK. Afterwards, they formed My Genderation and started making films about trans people around them and documenting events. My Genderation is now ran by Fox Fisher and their partner, Owl. What makes My Genderation unique is that it is entirely trans led and it’s content made by trans people, about trans people, for a wider audience.
Their first broadcast was on BBC with one of our documentaries and after that we teamed up with All About Trans and made 25 short films about trans people, 8 of which were shown on Channel 4.
My Trans Story: CJ is about a young non binary person navigating their way through this world. They are joined by their supportive sister, Patrice, who has supported them on their journey to find themselves. CJ talks about gender neutral titles, top surgery and their hopes for the future.
