ABOUT THE FILM

WE EXIST: BEYOND THE BINARY follows the life of Lauren, a person who identifies as “gender neutral,”: an individual who exists outside the binary gender structure of female and male. Take an intimate journey through the physical, emotional, and spiritual changes Lauren, and people like Lauren, must undergo just to be themselves.

See how simple things like choosing which public restroom (or changing room) to use is a challenge and part of every day life.

This positive and empowering film highlights what individuals must go through to fulfill their ultimate life-long dream: to feel comfortable and natural in their own skin, and as well as in society. Intimately travel with Lauren through an extraordinary journey and witness the beautiful life of a gender diverse individual.

After hearing this truth, you will never look at gender the same way.

Reviews & Quotes

Nylon

Sandra Song

“So what’s the first step in spreading nonbinary awareness? Get this film and other pertinent educational resources in front of as many people as possible.”

Autostraddle

"Covering a lot of ground in a short amount of time, We Exist highlights the differences between sex and gender, explains how gender identity and gender expression overlap but don’t necessarily mean the same thing, and examines the need for community as one explores both/or spaces within "the big cloud of identity.'"

Pride

Latonya Pennington

"The discussions that occur between Tyler Ford, Kristen Russo, Dr. Charles Garramone, and Dr. Anthony Vavasis are educational. They serve to not only clear up misconceptions of gender identity, but also to show how much work there needs to be done for non-binary people. Their statements are clear enough that a person trying to do research on non-binary identity or trying to figure out their gender identity could use this film as a resource."

Advocate

Allison Tate

“Nonbinary identities are rarely made available to people growing up, and are only discovered after adolescence. WeExist is a documentary that fights to change this lack of awareness by elevating nonbinary voices.”

KitschMix

"The documentary is an intimate work that reaches up to the most personal issues that a gender-non-conforming trans person might face and can function as a crucial point of reference, relation and inclusion for non-binary people from all over the world."
