As far as vintage trans doccos go, this has aged.

Sandy Stone definitely has moments where she’s too much of a talking head. I think many of her points have stood the test of time, but some of her monologues just feel like rambling.

I also didn’t love how all of the gender identities were handled, particularly the trans men or masculine folks by Tornado.

It’s a very outdated documentary, which I don’t mean in an harsh way, but the world of gender has changed so much in such a short period of time. There’s almost no way something like this would’ve held up to today’s standards. Especially because it wasn’t made by a trans person. 

I am grateful to the transgender folks who were willing to have their lives documented for this film. It’s always nice to see our history and see people like me from decades passed.

there is just something about seeing older trans men thriving that makes me want to burst into tears, i really loved this. a lot of recent documentaries and depictions really focus on the negative aspects of being trans so although some of the language is outdated it's very refreshing to see these guys talk so openly and positively about it :)

Feinfühliges Portrait der queeren Szene im San Francisco der 90er, das jedoch durch eine weitere Perspektiveneröffnung auf die Problematik der Homo- und Transphobie erweitert hätte werden sollen.
