Genderf*kation: A Gender Emancipation

Our mission is to inform, educate, and dialogue with audiences and allies who may invest themselves in the pursuit of equal justice and respect for individuals and groups of non-conforming gender/sexual identities.

Story Synopsis

Genderf*kation: A Gender Emancipation, is the story of six individuals and their journey through the social, religious and political landscapes of a society that struggles to understand or allows for gender variations. This film breaks through the gender stereotypes and historical gender ideologies to liberate our bodies, minds and spirits from our own social Gender Dysphoria. It explores real life concepts, issues, and reactions to individuals who self identify and/or fall outside of traditional gender and sexual identities.

We focus on gender identity, aiming to present the life experiences of Trans, Queer, and Gender variant individuals and their respective connections to and disconnects from societal, religious and political institutions and personal relationships.

Thank You,

Donovan Harmel, Genderf*kation: A Gender Emancipation

Educate our college club at Occidental College “Latinx Student Union”

Hi everyone! I am a graduate student at the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California am conducting a short survey on relationships between sexual orientation and sexual functioning in cis-gender women (I wish I could have included more folx but my dissertation chair is a stickler when it comes to variable control). Anyway, I’ve been getting a ton of responses from heterosexual women and am looking for more queer representation. If you have a few minutes and are interested in contributing to my study, please click on the link below:

Information you share will help psychologists better understand sexual functioning in women and thus provide high quality sexual health care to those in need. For more information, feel free to contact me, Kirsten Fox, M.A., at kfox@wi.edu. Thank you so much!

I work in DTLA & am interested in possible Volunteer opportunities

Hello,


My name is Sara Coello; I’m a senior sociology student at the University of Dallas working on a thesis on degendered ethnic terms. I have a short anonymous survey for Latinx LGBTQ people that I am trying to spread to as many as possible. Would it be possible to share this through your social media platforms?


This is the survey: https://qtrial2017q1az1.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_80p2JoRcsTBrEKV

Hello,


My name is Karina Lira. I am a senior at the Cal State University of Northridge. I would like to ask a couple of questions via email if that’s the easiest to your organization. This questionnaire is for one of my journalism classes; they want us to seek organizations/agencies that help the Latino & Hispanic community.


Let me know if you have any questions.


Thank you,

Thank you for your time. My name is Xiomara Bernard. I am the director for Theophilus Films’ third short film called BLACKOUT. This will be our first lgbtq+ genre and is a story about giving respect back to Love. We have leading actors, producers and several crew members who are gay and bisexual.


https://www.igg.me/at/blackout2018


We are investing on our end as well and starting production in a few weeks (weekend of Sept 23/24). Our challenge are permits, locations, insurance and additional equipment. which is why we started fundraising and pushing to hit goal.


We’ve managed to talk to everyone we knew via person and via social media. Our next step is to push out of the box and reach outward.


We want to reach out to individuals, groups, organizations and communities who we feel would resonate with our story and contribute to make this a reality. We have lgbtq+, female & an international cast & crew who are ready to go. Would you be able to aide us through contribution, sharing our campaign below on the community board, or blast an email to your members? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Thank you for your time. Have a beautiful day.
