Assigned Sex - Ep. 4: Just Passing By [Video]

Do You Know Anyone Who Is Transgendered Or Thinking About Becoming Transgendered?

As we get deeper and deeper in episodes of Shaun Dawson's documentary webseries 'The Making of Assigned Sex', we're beginning to see each personality open up and become more candid more than ever. Episode 3 touched on 'The Lonely "T" In LGBT' which the cast talked about the Transgendered community who are most often outcasted from the Lesbian and Gay world as well as those who are Straight (Heterosexual). 

In episode 4 'Just Passing By', the cast (Jay'Lin, L, LaLa, Angel and Kyrie) talk to Shaun Dawnson about the medical side of becoming transgender. It's not easy becoming another gender, there are a few procedures; surgical and non surgical a person has to go through. In the episode we learn some transgenders use pills, needles and patches to either obtain testosterone or estrogen. We also learn when transitioning from gender, the person must seek guidance and help (therapy sessions) to make sure the person becoming transgender is comfortable with their life made decision. 
I won't be giving you detail by detail on what goes on in the episode, you will have to watch and observe for yourself. Understand this is a serious matter and no one is to practice transgender procedures without seeking medical attention/help. In episode 4 we learn, which I didn't know is that some of the changes the pills, needles and patches causes and effects of what takes place throughout and within the human body.

After answering your own question watch the video below and see if your answer matches the discussion in episode 3 or if you are much more knowledgable of those who are Transgender.

Assigned Sex - Ep. 2: Family Matters [Video]


Here's the second episode to one of the most fascinating webisodes on YouTube of 2013. If you haven't watched episode one then I suggest you click Assigned Sex - Ep. 1: Ring The Alarm. In episode 1 we were introduced to the transgender individuals, in episode 2 we are introduced to each cast members family and their take on the whole transgender situation. Pretty good to watch beings though now that the family is being brought to the camera to discuss their feelings. Some families agree with the situation and some families don't, you'll just have to watch for yourself and continue to keep up with the series.

Assigned Sex - Ep. 1: Ring The Alarm [Video]


A friend of mine by the name of Shaun Dawson (cinematographer) came up with a brilliant idea to film the lives of some transgender people living in the New York City area. As a reality web~series 'Assigned Sex' focusing around the lives of five transgender male to female and female to male individuals as they cope with living in their new bodies and how others treat them on the job, in the community, with their family and complications they face health wise. 

Writer/Director Shaun Dawson

Chose to take on this project because of following facts listed in the video such as:


The LGBT community are the individuals who have it hard living in a world where hatred is looked upon them. The LGBT community are regular human beings just like everyone else whom are heterosexual; they shed tears, bleed, show emotions, have fears and etc. like we all are meant to do. Most people in the world have a hard time accepting the LGBT community because of religious purposes or how they were raised to look upon someone who is Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender. 


Assigned Sex cast members include Kyrie, Angel, LaLa, Jay'Lin and L whom of which you will get to know their personal stories, hear their fears, successes and why they chose to become transgender. All cast members in this web~series are the most beautiful braved group of individuals i've ever seen. Just by stepping forth and telling their compelling heart felt stories. I applaud them with great admiration and that their story will inspire other transgender individuals to come out and spread awareness that we are all the same no matter what!
