Images
A person is mid-sentence against an off white wall. The person has light skin and shoulder length straight brown hair. They are wearing a black top with a white collar and half their right arm crossed over their body with their left hand resting on it up near their face. In the background there are black masks on the wall and a picture frame behind them.
Xanthra Phillipa Mackay, a white trans woman with shoulder-length dark hair, sits in a home setting, speaking to the camera. Behind her are two decorated, feathered masks, likely for theatrical or party use.
Description

"We are two gender queens, gender outlaws, trans-dykes, gender troublemakers" so begins this intimate portrait of the video makers, two kick-ass radical transgender activists living in Toronto. Jeanne and Xanthra publish Gendertrash, a transgender zine, and give the dish on gay male misogyny and all of its complex articulations in contemporary gay culture.

“Vancouver’s 6th Annual Lesbian & Gay Film/Video Festival.” Out on Screen, 1994.
