Recently, The Daily Show aired a segment covering Transgender issues such as the Anti-Transgender Bathroom Bills. Huffington Post proclaims "While the segment may seem fairly 'Trans 101' for those well-versed in trans issues and experiences, it’s amazing to see such a nuanced analysis of the implications of this “trans panic” on television and we’re grateful for it (and it doesn’t hurt that it’s hilarious too)."
If you haven't had a chance to see it already, you can view it here.
Did you LOVE what you watched? You're not alone, we did as well. We thought it was phenomenal, but there are THREE full hours worth of valuable footage omitted from the segment. The footage is both informative and pertinent to the various dialogues concerning the Transgender Rights movement.
We'd like to see more of it. If you agree, help us persuade the folx at Comedy Central to release an EXTENDED CUT of the Trans Panic Epidemic Panel by signing this petition!
All the best,
DN!

I really thought this might just be a small thing I put out into the void but looking at how much this has grown is honestly surreal. It feels like people actually want to see all that extra footage just as much as I do which is wild and makes me want to keep pushing this until Comedy Central finally pays attention.

I want to see more and have more out there. I am trans and not out living in the deep south.
This would be of great help and teach a lot of ppl who are not educated , in a fun way .
The Daily Show often releases extended versions of segments online. I'd love to see more of this one!
Please make this material available in some way to the general public. There are many advocating for trans* rights and this collection of information could be valuable to those who teach or make policy or just fight for trans rights in general. It would be a great educational tool, so please consider publishing it for open consumption.
This is such an important topic that needs much more exposure and we as a human collective need more education and awareness. If there is extra footage that can be released to provide this education and awareness then please release it so that hopefully more trans people feel not only safe wherever they are but that trans humans are accepted for who they are, human beings just like their cis brothers and sisters. Thank you!
Please make this footage public
From a long time CC viewer, make it all available

The Daily Show's Trans Panic segment was one of the best ever. If the unseen 3 hours are equally good, then I'd like to see all of it, and if it wasn't quite as good, then just do some more segments.
