Review of documentary – Love & Rage: Munroe Bergdorf

The director of the film, Olivia Cappuccini, thanked Bergdorf for letting her into his world, which was the ‘epitome of freedom’. Bergdorf was someone we should be grateful to be in the presence of, for the joy and euphoria Bergdorf imparts onto this world was unique. Such gibberish was a sure sign the documentary was not only going to be illiterate, but also a masterclass in arse-licking.

This Cisn’t Funny! | Trans+ History Week Comedy Showcase

Diageo HQ, as you’d expect, has a real bar on site and the cocktails were high-end, some of the best I’ve ever had in fact.  Predictably this led to me being pissed after the second and utterly shitfaced by the eighth.  No wonder I laughed so much.  It took about three days to dry out.  The nicest cocktail was Intersex on the Beach (phnarr), the pornstar martini a close second (too pie-eyed to see how that one got queered name-wise). 

Torrey Peters: Stag Dance

Clark felt that being able to identify your own failures in gender presentation was incredibly threatening and this was why certain people were so obsessed with trans people. Peters leapt to agree, feeling that trans people were used as a scapegoat but also acted as a beacon for peoples’ potential freedoms, which some people found terrifying. ‘When you hear terfs talk about gender you really get the sense that they fucking hate being women,’ said Clark, adding that she thought terfs were petrified by the idea of ‘you actually don’t have to do this’. Which was a perfect piece of intellectual google, given Peters had just said – and Clark had agreed – that we all have to do gender. Doh!
