00:37
It makes me really sad because I don't support it and I don't have any tolerance for any
00:42
negative rhetoric towards people of any group.
00:44
I can only attest to the experience that I had with each and every individual that was
00:49
a part, that is a part, of this film and my experience and interactions with them were
00:54
about inclusivity, collaboration and racial, cultural and gender equity.

01:05
Mexican culture and gender transition.
