Movie Review: Good film that needs a stronger conceptual framework
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an interesting documentary about several college-age transsexuals. Unfortunately, it lacks a conceptual framework. The film does not delve into the underlying sexual motivations of the main characters, i.e. are Gabbie and Raci autogynephilic or homosexual transsexuals? What are their motivations for pursuing sex reassignment procedures? Autogynephilia has been defined as a weird, autosexual exhibitionistic fetish in which an otherwise unremarkably masculine heterosexual male is attracted to the fantasy of being a sexually seductive woman. Homosexual transsexuals are feminine gay men who undergo sex reassignment to be more attractive to straight men.
Based on this film, I would urge Gabbie and Raci, to reconsider the irrevocable decision to have irreversible transsexual surgery. It is irreversible, I repeat, it cannot be reversed! I wonder if they should pursue their sexual proclivities without resorting to surgery and spend the money on graduate school or a downpayment on a house. The film does not explore this non-sexual option.
Movie Review: Three Quarters of a Good Documentary
Summary: 3 Stars
I enjoyed the series and all the stories, but thought T.J's story was the weakest of the four. T.J. came across as an angry and ungrateful knucklehead and lost my sympathy when he started protesting against the USA and the president of the country where he was a guest. Would an American transsexual have been treated the same way in Cyprus protesting and speaking out against their leadership? I suspect not. I think the series would have been stronger if it had left T.J. on the cutting room floor. Maybe T.J. will grow up someday and realize that good grades and a college degree are nice, but your intelligence doesn't mean a thing if you don't have common sense and behave like a knucklehead.Movie Review: Good film, but where is the sex in trans-sexualism?
Summary: 3 Stars
I viewed this film after reading a favorable review in the magazine Transformation: A Magazine for Men Who Enjoy Being Women. There were stills from the film, including pictures of the main characters. The magazine itself is chock full of pictures of nude transsexuals, in various states of transition--most often, with voluptuous breasts and a penis--and lots of "how to" information.
I liked the film but wanted to hear more about sex--in particular, the sexual motivations of Gabbie and Raci. I wanted to know why, from a sexual standpoint, they wanted to have sex reassignment surgery and become women. The magazine gave me some clues, but I wanted to hear it from them.
