Will Ferrell discussed why transphobia persists around the world, saying in an interview this week that 'I think we fear what we don’t know.'
Will Ferrell speaks onstage during the Will & Harper NY Special Screening at The Paris Theater on September 24, 2024 in New York City.“But I don’t know why trans people are meant to be threatening to me as a cis male. I don’t know why Harper is threatening to me,” Ferrell said. “It’s so strange to me, because Harper is finally… . She’s finally who she was always meant to be.
As for why Ferrell believes transphobia exists in the first place, he told the outlet that “I think we fear what we don’t know.” “What if we went on a road trip together, giving her a chance to go into a cowboy bar or whatever places she misses, and I can be by her side and lend support as a friend?” Ferrell told Netflix of the concept for the new documentary. “At the same time, it would give us a chance to reconnect and figure out what this transition means to our relationship.”
Steele said the documentary served as a chance to experience life as a trans person outside of the more liberal bubbles where trans people are more readily embraced. “I love the whole country. It’s my country, and I wanted to feel a little safer being in it,” she said. “And I thought that going across the country with Will Ferrell would help me.” is, at its heart, is a portrait of a friendship and how the fundamentals of a deep and lasting bond doesn’t change even when the people within it do.
