“…the predominant source where people, both transgender and nontransgender, gain general knowledge about transgender issues" (p. 606). Critical media studies have examined the portrayal of transgender individuals in film (Willox, 2003), TV (Sandercock, 2015), young adult fiction (Norbury, 2014), talk shows (Gamson, 1998), and social media (Green, Bobrowicz, & Ang, 2015). However, very little research has investigated how transgender individuals use, experience, and interpret traditional or emerging media.…”

Transgender individuals, those whose gender presentation diverges from their biological sex, encounter unique obstacles to identity development and socialization. The present study examines how transgender individuals use both traditional and emerging media to better understand their own gender identities and their social worlds. A constructivist approach to the uses and gratifications perspective motivated interview questions about the role of media in the lives of transgender individuals. Forty-one transgender individuals participated in semistructured interviews. Results suggested media were instrumental for sensemaking. Participants used media to make sense of feelings, sexual relations, community, and transition options. Participants also used media to meet nonmediated goals or to initiate interpersonal negotiations. The potential impact of media on transgender audiences and the limitations of the uses and gratifications perspective are discussed in light of the findings.

This research was aimed at designing a video script to promote three Chinese temples in Palembang. In this study, the writers used the research and development (R&D) method. The writers conducted five steps of the R&D method: 1) Preliminary investigation; 2) Designing; 3) Realization/construction; 4) Testing, revising, and evaluation; 5) Implementation [6]. The writers implemented these steps by designing the product. The data were collected from documentation, observation and interview in the preliminary investigation step. In the designing step, the writers arranged the structure and content of the script and made it become the first draft as a realization step. In the testing, revising and evaluating step, the draft of the video script regarding the language, structure of sentences, and the content of the script was revised by several experts starting from tourism, linguistics, and script writing experts. In the last step, the writers made it become the final script. The script was written in English by using Celtx as the software for writing the script. The script described the uniqueness and the long history of three Chinese temples in Palembang. In addition, to design a script, the R&D method [6] was linked to the ten steps of writing a script: finding an idea, creating a plan, researching, selecting material, planning the message, arranging the structure, drafting the script, first draft and testing script, and final draft [7].

“…The transgender protagonist (as with gender-atypical or intersex protagonists) on young adult or children's television challenges normative assumptions and expectations about gender, identity and sexuality. The majority of children and teens may not have a clear understanding of what exactly the term 'transgender' means (Norbury 2014: 2) but by watching characters like Hannah in First Day, viewers are able to challenge their preconceptions and better understand gender and sexualities as spectrums of expressions and embodiment than that of the binary logics they may have been raised to believe. Children's and young adult television, along with literature and film, may therefore have an increasingly important role to play in transforming social attitudes towards transgender people and the LGBTIQA+ community in the real world.…”

Writing inclusive and diverse children’s television: Transgender representation in ABC Australia’s First Day

This article presents a case study of the Australian children’s television programme, First Day (ABC Australia 2020‐present), which depicts a young transgender girl’s experiences beginning high school. The article explores the screenwriting process involved in creating inclusive and diverse children’s television, drawing on an original interview with Julie Kalceff, the show’s screenwriter and director. Kalceff discusses her screenwriting process writing for and about children who occupy liminal and marginal spaces and the research, writing and consultation processes undertaken to create her pioneering work with trans characters as lead protagonists. The resulting series explores the universal experience of starting the high school journey, while allowing for a normalizing of gender diversity on-screen ‐ hopefully the first of many of its type in the future. By foregrounding historically marginalized characters, screenwriters can explore universal social, psychological and physical trials, and in the process, break down stigmas surrounding LGBTQ people.
