Trans Tube

April 21, 2009


Argentinian Ad for a Bank

I’ve was sent some interesting European televison ads with sensitive protrayals of trans gender identity. It’s a little jarring when the products are plugged but still pretty incredible to think that these were aired on TV. After poking around ye olde youtube, I found some other vids worth posting.


Italian ad for Campari


Transgender Children – Out of the Shadows

This one seemed to be a Public Service type of film for educational purposes.


The best was this youtube channel for Laidbaqq, a young black trans man’s video blog about his present experiences, challenges and questions. In this video, he responds to people who think they know who is and who is not trans based on physical traits and hormone taking.

As we all lament the cancellation of Guiding Light after 72 years, we can at least look forward to an exciting week for Otalia! After months of will they/won’t they, Natalia and Olivia reach a pivotal point in their story: Olivia declares her love for Natalia, just as Natalia is set to walk down the aisle with Frank! Will Natalia put a stop the wedding and succumb to her true feelings? Will Otalia fans get what they’ve been longing for? Will Guiding Light finally go all out now that their days are numbered? Yours truly will definitely be tuning in to Guiding Light next week to see! Let’s celebrate Otalia while we can!

Fuck Yeah Rachel Maddow

March 31, 2009

The best part about fuckyeahrachelmaddow.com is that it is both serious and fun. I mean, what isn’t serious about the only out-butch dyke on TV? Say what you will about her scoop necks, Ms. Madd is as real butch as we’ve gotten on national TV, and thank god. What we tend to forget, is how sweet and dorky she can be, and fuckyeahrachelmaddow.com puts it all out with pics, quotes, clips and news. SO FUN.

Amelie Gillette Live Blogging Final L Word

March 6, 2009

Oh man, BOUND to be way better than the actual show, The Hater columnist Amelie Gillette will be live blogging the final episode of the L Word.

“How many times will Pam Grier say, “Girl!” because she clearly can’t remember her lines? Will Lucy Lawless have handsex with anyone? Elizabeth Berkley: alien or half-alien? Which characters will completely change personalities one last time just for the hell of it? Will the writers just push the pregnant trans-man down the stairs and be done with it because they clearly hate that character so much, or will he actually have a baby? Did all the characters just take turns drowning Jenny, or was this whole season really some crazy screenplay Jenny was writing and she’s not actually dead (the first theory makes more sense for The L Word, which is to say that it makes no sense in the real world)”

These are the questions Gillette hopes to answer, be sure to get over to the A.V. Club to find out what happens.
