Toms: The Complex World of Female Love in Thailand

Jan 23, 2015
0h 16m
★ 8.5

Overview

Thailand's 'toms' (as in tomboys) inhabit a unique place on the gender spectrum. They are girls who dress and act in a masculine way, typically sporting a uniform look of short hair, t-shirts and jeans. But toms don't consider themselves trans or even lesbians, despite the fact that they date women (often girly 'dees' or other toms).

T'Ain't Nobody's Bizness: Queer Blues Divas of the 1920s

Jan 27, 2013

The 1920s saw a revolution in technology, the advent of the recording industry, that created the first class of African-American women to sing their way to fame and fortune. Blues divas such as Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Alberta Hunter created and promoted a working-class vision of blues life that provided an alternative to the Victorian gentility of middle-class manners. In their lives and music, blues women presented themselves as strong, independent women who lived hard lives and were unapologetic about their unconventional choices in clothes, recreational activities, and bed partners. Blues singers disseminated a Black feminism that celebrated emotional resilience and sexual pleasure, no matter the source.
