MUSIC VIDEO featuring Kaia, a transsexual dancer wrestling with questions of transgender embodiment. 

(There is no attempt to infringe upon copyright laws. Music credit is Janelle Monae’s “Cold War.” This video was not created for monetary gain of any kind.) 

This is truly amazing. The dancing, photography and music are each excellent on their own, and the resulting combination is a masterpiece.

Transgender ‘Thailand’s Got Talent’ Contestant Stuns Audience (VIDEO)

A recent “Thailand’s Got Talent” contestant shocked audiences by revealing herself as male-to-female transgender when her beautiful soprano morphed seamlessly into a masculine tenor midway through her debut performance.

Though male-to-female transgender operations are reportedly fairly common in Thailand, the performer’s dual range certainly surprised the judges, who said they were “dumbfounded” but nonetheless praised her vocal prowess.

I Kissed a Girl — the REAL gay version (A Good Asian Drivers spoof)

My favorite version of this song, with much more meaning than the original. The Good Asian Drivers act out an intriguing storyline; when you think it can’t get any queerer — it does!

Joshua Klipp, “Little Girl”

Klipp wrote and recorded this song before taking testosterone, and after his voice changed he created this version which includes both of his voices. As stated in an interview:

The melding of both his pre- and post-transition vocals happens only on “Little Girl,” and probably won’t happen again. “It was so intense, I could only do it once,” says Klipp. “The experience was so deep and wrenching but so emotionally resolving, too.”

Ani DiFranco - In or Out

guess there's something wrong with me
guess i don't fit in
no one wants to touch it
no one knows where to begin
i've got more than one membership
to more than one club

and i owe my life
to the people that i love

he looks me up and down
like he knows what time it is
like he's got my number
like he thinks it's his
he says,
call me, miss difranco,
if there's anything i can do
i say,
it's mr. difranco to you


some days the line i walk
turns out to be straight
other days the line tends to
deviate
i've got no criteria for sex or race
i just want to hear your voice
i just want to see your face

(entire lyrics here)
