CALL FOR TRANSGENDER AND GENDER-VARIANT PEOPLE:

Submitted by jackmoff:

I have been working on a transgender documentary for the past 6 months, and I am in need of a lot of female to male transgender interviews. I am interested in male to female interviews, but only a few more. Also interested in interviews with intersexed, and possibly other gender-varient people.

If you are from the Philadelphia or Boston area, please leave a message in my ask box, with your facebook and/or e-mail, and let me know you are interested, also state wether you are FtM/MtF/other, your age, and location.

As for info about the doc, I can only say it has been an exploration for me to meet amazing people and has helped me to realize a lot about myself. I’m not sure where I am going with it yet, but I have some sort of plan. It will most likely be an informational/narrative and personal.

I’m a boy, but isn’t it funny how general society can see one revealing photo of someone and think they can determine their gender without even knowing anything about the person? Sure, my sex is female. I won’t deny that. Scientifically, I can’t, but my gender? That’s entirely up to me, and I say I’m male. I have my good days and my bad days. Today is a very good day for me. What does that mean? It means I’m proud today. Today, I’m so goddamn proud to be a part of the trans community, and I’m proud of my body. Why? Because it’s my body! Sure, there are days that I want to just rip off my skin I get so dysphoric, but at the end of the day, I’m proud. I’m proud that I’m able to have enough confidence to defy the norms of society to be who I know I am on the inside. I’m proud I’m confident enough in my decisions that I know I’m going on T, and I know I’m getting chest surgery. It took a lot of guts to post this, believe me. I’m shaking as I type, but I want to make a statement to this. I know it’s been said a hundred times before but I need to reiterate: Your body does not define you. You define your body. Be who you feel you are on the inside. Don’t let what’s on the outside limit your possibilities; they’re endless if you let them be. Don’t let ignorant people get you down. Stay true  to yourself, and be proud of who you are, and what you have.
