Sexing the Transman (2011)

Sexing the Transman is a groundbreaking mainstream documentary about FTM sexualities. Buck Angel elicits intimate, in-depth conversations with transmen and those who love them—about how their bodies, sexualities, and identities are affected by the medical and social processes of gender transition. The film highlights how transitioning can open up a greater sense of freedom, desire, and willingness to explore new types of pleasure. It includes interviews with Margaret Cho, who discusses her identity as a queer bottom attracted to masculinity; and FTM comedian Ian Harvie, who reflects on his dysphoria and how his relationship with his body and his sexuality has changed post-transition. Graphic excerpts from Angel’s XXX adult version of transmen playing and proudly exhibiting their wares are interwoven with highly personal dialogue.
