Gender Redesigner from Johnny b on Vimeo.
This fascinating and inspiring 2007 documentary film follows a young woman as she makes the challenging transition to manhood.
Filmmaker John Bergmann follows his friend and subject, who now calls himself fAe, in his amazing five year journey. As the dream becomes a reality, the complexities of the surgery become more apparent and fAe makes a startling discovery about the balance between masculine and feminine sides.
What's more, not only is fAe a drag kinging (who often performs at Pegasus nightclub), undergoing hormone treatment, and having his breasts removed, he's doing it in rural Western Pennsylvania, leading to obvious social clashes.

He's in Oil City?
ReplyDeleteOh my....
Something in the water here I guess?
Oh and now is a good time to contact the city of Oil City council, mayor, chamber, etc, and ask them to pass a non-discrimination ordinance which includes sexual orientation and gender identity.
Yeah now. One big hug to each person who emails them now.

Phone call and texting and showing up at city hall get extra hugs.
