New arrivals! Something old and something new. Nadja is a retelling of Dracula’s Daughter that I’ve been wanting to see for awhile. The DVD is out of print, so I feel lucky to have snagged a copy. T Blockers is a trans coming-of-age horror movie from director Alice Maio Mackay. Seeing young queer filmmakers make things nobody else is making is exciting and inspires me to go forward with my own projects. I can’t wait to watch this! 🖤

Review: Romeos (2011)

Just watched Romeos (2011). Great film! It's a German film about a gay trans man named Lukas navigating transition, school dorms, starting to pass, old friendships, and new love interests amid Cologne's gay scene.

Lukas really goes through it. his best friend is having a hard time fully accepting him even though she also sticks by & supports him. He's placed in the girl's dorms & is fighting a transphobic administration to get transferred. The invasive curiosity is as bad as the rejection.

He meets a hot gay bad boy, but there are conflicts first around his fear of intimacy and having to out himself, and then his gender identity. his dad is supportive it seems. his mom and little sister aren't. And he's fighting his body in the hopes of feeling himself in it.

But amid his struggles, there's also hope in the people who do fight for him and the ones who come around. Progress is slow and messy, but it marches towards trans joy. The end is sweet and wraps up the story, but also leaves ambiguity for a new story beyond. A new 1st act.

As a gay trans man, I saw so much of my own internal conflicts in this movie. That sense of seeing my body slowly develop towards what I want and the small joys in that. And that struggle in the people who love and support you, but are also caught up on memories of former you.

I like how it captured a lot of struggles in being trans in a kind of tragic way, especially in a transphobic and homophobic society, but it's also like normal struggles and very little truly awful happens to him, which is nice for a queer film.

The transmasc urge to be an average dirtbag guy. XD

What is very strange is that all the American media are talking about breaking into the house of Mark, the owner of the famous squirrel, searching his house and killing his squirrel... I am against this matter and I condemn it just as the American media condemned it, but where is the American media? And its condemnation of what Israel did to the Palestinian people? ..the landowner

There is no harm in sympathizing with this issue and against what the government did to the squirrel, as it is an animal that deserves mercy. I personally love animals very much. Some love them too.

But what the Israeli occupation has been doing for a year and two months, killing, airstrikes and besieging the people of Gaza, has not caught their attention. It is strange that there are still those who support Israel. How come their hearts are not moved when it comes to children and people? Help my family here 👈

I thank the free peoples who support the Palestinian cause. There are many forms of support. Each of you has great love in our hearts, and the American people in particular.

Please continue to support us, we need it most.

To support my family here 🍉👈

hey. if you are a queer/trans person who is feeling hopeless and overwhelmed by the election results, i just want to tell you this:

we have existed as long as humanity itself has existed. through every monarchy, every presidency, every dark age and revolution, queer people have existed. we have survived and lived and thrived and loved. in the face of an unwelcoming society, we have always carved out our own niches where we can find community, strength, and peace.

we survived 2004. we survived 2016 and 2020. we will survive this, too. i promise you.

please stay safe, take care of each other, and if you ever feel like it's over - i suggest reading about our queer elders and ancestors who lived through time periods that were even more dangerous and hostile. i always find strength and solidarity in their stories.

but most importantly: hold onto one another, build each other up, and love one another. we will get through this.

GENDER TROUBLEMAKERS (1993) dir. Mirha-Soleil Ross & Xanthra Mackay What happens when two Transdykes get sick of non-transsexual's uninformed representation of their sexualities and their lives? They grab their 8 millimeter home video camera, their last 200 bucks, and come up with an uncompromising in-your-face flick about their shitty relationships with gay men and their unabashed attraction to other trans women. (link in title)

Watching two asian gay guys take down the model minority myth and a transphobic society with their small genderfluid child wasn't on my bingo but damn I'm glad that it exists

Maybe it’s because I’m transgender, but I LOVE whenever people get turned into enormous bugs

So if you've seen Nimona you might know about the trans flag and rainbow flag in the background of a certain scene:

But think i've found two more that i haven't seen anyone talk about:

The mlm flag colours (the stained glass window between Ballister and Ambrosius during the pub scene)

And this one in the background of the same scene as the trans & rainbow flag.

This might be the genderqueer flag? Which also ties in with the scene.

Let me know what you think. Am i looking into this too far??
