Re: Transsexuality in film and television
I love, love, love the movie Better Than Chocolate. When I had a Netflix acount, I cleaned out the LGBT section... haha.

I used to have the lyrics to "I'm Not a Fucking Drag Queen" as my header on Mindsay.

Re: Transsexuality in film and television
i love that song! Better than Chocolate was amazing...Judy was my favorite character!!

and netflix is amazing. we have almost cleaned it out of LGBT...we have the final disc of QaF and then it's on to TransAmerican Love Story and TransAmerica (SJ hasn't seen Transamerica yet)

Better Than Chocolate is awesome and so is Boys Don't Cry

Re: Transsexuality in film and television
agreed. boys don't cry is my favorite queer movie...but i can't watch it alone and SJ hates watching it because it's something that could very much happen to me.

there is a song by Randi Driscol that is called What Matters. Try and find it on the interntet or got to Mathew's website you will find it there. It is so heart wrenching.

Re: Transsexuality in film and television
transgeneration is by far one of my least favorite documentaries. but i appreciate the artistic value and the real-life qualities...i just didn't really "connect" with any of the stories on a more visceral level.

but i enjoy gender rebels much more. it's on logoonline.com.
