Double Feature: Razor Tongue & the T

Frameline43 is thrilled to present two whip-smart, heartfelt dramedies centering on the transfeminine experience. In both the T and Razor Tongue, friendship and romance get tested by discriminatory forces, as well as bouts of crippling self-doubt. But in this double bill of charming episodics, hard-hitting resilience and — yes, of course — a biting razor tongue save the day.
