The drag kings in New York perform in clubs and lustfully transform themselves into their male alter egos, parodying them, exploring male eroticism and power strategies. Women in London experiment with hormones and become new men and cyborgs. Masculinity and its transformation as performance, subversion or existential necessity. An intimate film about people who create intersex identities.
With: Diane Torr, Mo B. Dick, Dréd Gerestant, Bridge Markland, Del LaGrace Volcano, Shelly Mars, Storme Webber, (Judith) Jack Halberstam and many others.
