"GenderFluXXXors UnCoded: an FTM Supornova" is a performance lecture of clips from the history of transmasculine erotic film and video, from the 1980s to present day.

Proceeds from this performance / lecture are collected in support of Kat Grant and Boyd Kodak, whose health and extensive personal archive of trans related media were destroyed by environmental toxic disaster when a City of Toronto construction crew broke a pipe under their house. They lost all their belongings, including a lifetime's worth of archived international video, audio, film and periodicals representing the TS/TG experience. They continue to require frequent hospitalizations and they remain uncompensated by government / civic authorities. They have made a series of reality based comic books about these events, which can be seen here.

The lecture has been presented in 3 different versions:

• Minneapolis, at the Flaming Film festival, curated by Lisa Ganser, with the focus on images of people of colour (2004)
• NYC, Le Petite Versailles, curated by Peter Cramer and Jack Waters; with live internet video chat with Eliza Steinbock in Amsterdam ASCA (Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis) (2005)
• Hong Kong, at Videotage, curated by Dr. Katrien Jacobs, with live translation with curator and activist Denise Tang (2006)

Shannon Bell taught in the name of Annie Sprinkle to dedicate ones orgasm. In the spirit of that teaching, GenderfluXXXors Uncoded is dedicated to the memory of the late Chance Ryder, the first “male hermaphrodite pornstar” …a person ahead of his time.

Urgent message from Cat and Boyd, May 1, 2008.

Genderfluxxxors 4.0, video (15 min) and limited edition fine art prints. Proceeds from sale go to Kat and Boyd. Produced with assistance from Toronto Arts Council and Harvestworks NYC.
