Hello everyone, I recently watched Jane Schoebrun's 'I Saw the TV Glow,' and someone mentioned the connection between the consumption of trans identities and a deliberate or unintentional presentation of the bodies in the film (which might be Jane critiquing the cis-normative society). The area interested me a lot, and I have been wondering if there has been any academic work that might have focused on reviewing it through the lens of film theory. Especially as I am actively looking for any articles or books that would be correlated to this. It would also be helpful if there are works that might focus on trans relations and spectatorship, or even works on other films that can be considered similar to Jane's theme and/or style.

Hello, I wish to read more on the intersection of queer identities and media, and was wondering if there are any specific books for that? I have been engaging with works such as Stryker's or Sandy Stone, but would like to make my reading list align with some of my more specific interest areas. It would be better if books/pieces could be suggested that specifically focus on trans identities and media relations as well.
