Watch this, you ~~queers~~ everyone.

I want to start by saying that I love this video. Dearly. But I must say that the opening text slide is a little weird to me (a white, able-bodied, cis-queer femme). This is why.

If you wanted, you could collaborate with trans* people to produce a short piece that is sensitive to the history of trans* bodies on film, and does not fetishize trans* people or their bodies. If you “could not justify the potentially fetishistic gaze of [your] camera on a trans* body,” as “two white, cis-queer women,” then why risk fetishizing a person of color in the very same film? Making the deliberate decision not to engage in collaborative art with trans* people for fear of doing it wrong like it’s been done wrong so many times before is exclusionary and hurtful. It does not promote solidarity with trans* people or an active commitment to just portrayals of trans* bodies among cis-queers. It suggests two false truths: 1) that you are incapable of making a just film that includes trans* people, and 2) that you are unwilling to have the collaborative dialogues with trans* subjects that would foster a safe, positive, and creative work environment for all, and would produce an excellent final result. You mustn’t prioritize your fear over the intra-queer community solidarity that cis and trans* people so desperately need, and that cis people have historically denied trans* people, especially trans* people of color.

A disclaimer that might be more appropriate is:

“We are not portraying trans* people in this film because in consideration of the historic fetishization of trans* bodies on film, we want to dedicate more time to such a portrayal than this project would allow for.”

bought this shirt yesterday since i didn’t think i’d be going straight to NC’s place after work. probably a new favorite. but please don’t judge me for how weird i’m standing/looking in that second picture.

this morning i decided girly necklaces and a boiish clip-on bowtie were the way to go. that tiny not-a-locket says, “sir.” so…

what do you think, internet? i’m pretty fond of this combination. by which i mean really fond.

i’m not gonna try and entirely take credit for this beautiful fashion moment, but i’ll take some. isn’t that “sir” necklace adorable?
