Coming out which is an exposure of one’s identity is a breakthrough moment for the protagonist of the film THINGS WE DARE NOT DO. It is also a turning point in the life of every transgender person as well as his or her friends and family. Unfortunately, in Poland 75 per cent of mothers and over 80 per cent of fathers cannot fully accept their transgender children. What is more, there’s the lack of social awareness and the attacks on the LGBTQIA community by the catholic church and the politicians. What price do you have to pay to be able to be yourself?
Guests:
Ewa Dąbrowska and her son Stach. They talked about his transsexuality in their joint interview in “Wysokie Obcasy” in the autumn of 2020. She was among the “50 Brave Ones” – the women who, according to Wysokie Obcasy, are the heroines of the previous 12 months. He creates educational content on gender identity for his YouTube channel.
Host:
Piotr Jacoń – TV and radio journalist who has been connected with TVN24 for over ten years. Among others, the author of the feature “Wszystko o moim dziecku” (“Everything About My Child”) in which he talks to the parents of transgender children.
