A senior trans/gender diverse person is removing two stacked boxes from the boot of her car. She sees her new neighbour, an intimidating-looking, elderly, cisgender man wearing a check shirt and drinking a coffee. He’s standing out the front of his place watching her carry moving boxes.
The trans/gender diverse person looks worried as if her new neighbour won’t like or approve of them. She drops the top box, then looks up and locks eyes with her new neighbour. This creates of moment of tension and uncertainty.
We cut to sneakers walking towards the dropped box. The cisgender man picks up the box and passes it back to the trans/gender diverse person who smiles as the following text fades into the centre of the screen:
Trans and gender diverse people deserve to feel safe.
We cut to a shot of the trans/gender diverse person in the doorway of her house. There’s relief and joy of their face as they know their neighbour is going to be an ally. The following text fades in:
The unsaid says a lot
