Vision for a Gender Healed World

“Gender Healed World” is a docu-style exploration of a society that fully embraces gender diversity. Following the personal journey of queer creator Lauren Sunshine, this film captures her quest for belonging, healing, and community.

The project was inspired by Lauren’s traumatic experience of being attacked for using the women’s restroom—an event that made national news and shattered both her jaw and sense of safety.

Through conversations with queer thought leaders, spiritual teachers, artists, and policymakers, “Gender Healed World” weaves together a collective mosaic that highlights the immense potential for a gender-healed world.

It explores how compassion and empathy are vital tools for cultivating a peaceful world and fostering healing through non-violent activism.

The film poses essential questions: How do we heal as a community? How can we express pain without causing division? How do we broaden the circle of inclusion?

By sharing stories of resilience and transformation, the documentary shows how healing and forgiveness can create deeper inclusion. It emphasizes the importance of turning suffering into strength and fostering dialogue.
