Southern Comfort is a community of transgender people in the south, they come from all over and strive to make themselves known not because of what they are, but who they are. They are caring, loving, and very smart people that only want to be accepted by society and their families.

Artifact 8:

              Robert Eads is a transgender man that started out as a girl, when he transitioned, he family looked down on him and his mom wondered where she had gone wrong. This is really important because this is happening all around the world and it shouldn’t, it is there right and their choice based on how they feel, there is nothing wrong with that. towards the end of the movie, Robert is dying and his father, mother, son, and grandson come to see him and accept him for who he is.

The focus of this film is to raise awareness about the improper treatment and unfair actions against transgenders, they don’t get proper health care, they are looked down upon, and they don’t get to voice their opinion without being scorned. Transgenders are people too and it is their choice as to what they are and who they are, not anyone else’s. Most of the close transgender communities like SoCo see each other as their chosen family because they are the ones that see each other for who they really are, the people they want to be, they really are family to each other.

what are you? If you feel like you are something that biologically you aren’t, would you change it or just stay unhappy as you are? I would change it and I would be proud of that change. People like Robert and Lola are very brave and courageous because it takes guts to go against society and be happy at the same time.
