BloodSisters: Leather, Dykes, and Sadomasochism

"a short documentary (only a little over an hour) about the leatherdyke scene of the 90s. it's pretty good, and excellent archival data on queer people no longer with us in an underrepresented community. i dont agree with all of their politics (patrick califia's stance on minors in particular, thankfully not spoken on any of his interviews) but it's kind of wonderful to see a montage of queer folks (FROM THE 90s!!!) saying how they identify and one saying 'i identify as a f*g**t', an identity i have seen used by teens of today. One even parroted something i used to say before i got a better handle on my identity: 'i'm not a lesbian, i'm a d*ke'. Color me UNSURPRISED that two of the people interviewed would later come out as trans men. And i'm very happy to see a trans lesbian and a black woman interviewed too! their perspective on power dynamics was even more valuable, in my opinion."
