Isyss will create a documentary about the negative stereotypes that are often placed on trans-women as leading tragic and depressed lives. Isyss feels it is time for her, as a trans-woman to be the author of her own story about her community. She wants to show non-transgender people that trans-women are human with lives that are complex and full of hope.
