Hi 2 stories this time one important one and one media story This is a very worthy cause we were recently contacted by Broken Rainbow about helping to find trans models who would be prepared to be made up for a domestic violence poster as they currently use stock image and need a trans person as part of their campaign - expenses and i think a small fee will be available - discuss this with Aimee and if you apply keep us updated. --- From Aimee The images attached are Plain Gay and lesbian stock images, and to be honest they were hard as Heck to come by (why does every gay person look ecstatic in stock images?). Here is our (soon to be made into something much prettier) site: http://www.broken-rainbow.org.uk/ We ran the above adverts in The Guardian Newspaper, but would more likely run other stuff in LGBT mags or in our e-newsletter. Posters could be sent out Nationally, though - something to point out. We have large amount of requests by Police stations and Nationwide Councils. The thing is that DV [Domestic Violence] is almost invisible in the gay and lesbian community, let alone the trans-community. It seems to me that this isn't going to change unless we change it. I am the person who puts together the ads to take to my CEO, and I am more than happy to work with either an individual or a group so they feel comfortable with the direction taken, etc. As for confidentiality? 100% guaranteed. I'm not looking for an angle, but rather to try to reach every group in L G B T. Anyone can contact me with questions or comments. I'd be happy to answer them as best I can. Any help you can give would be awesome and much appreciated Smile Kind regards, If you would like to model for this domestic violence charity - remember you do not have to be a supermodel - this is about the face of violence and you may change many lives throught out the UK and world because of your selfless act please Contact Aimee White mail@broken-rainbow.org.uk and mention Transgender Zone Tzone Team so she is aware of where you read it as we have been in communications with her about mass circulation of these requests Thank You Smile PHOTO LINK http://tzone.freeforums.org/trans-models-wanted-for-national-domestic-violence-campaign-t2780.html ========================================================== Mrs In Betweeny Review BBC3 Attempting to put the fun in dysfunctional - or should that be Mrs stereotype - by creating a world of 'abnormality' around the character this somehow attempts to justify what is a relentless barrage of stereotypical tabloid thinking, now on film for your pleasure. The opening episode has a family gathering at the solicitors for the reading of the will. The solicitor then drops dead 3 children (main characters) a young lad about 7, a teenage girl 14 and teenage boy 15 (ish) The childrens care has been entrusted to an uncle Brendan - Now Emma - who flies in from Vegas (where else?) and appears a shock to the her brother. The Mother who runs a second hand clothes shop is unaware of the new her Dysfunction Where to start The following event is not helped by the unnecessary mention of child molestation - she pretends to be the wife of Brendan who is having a trial separation - at the opening coffee morning at the house where the local ladies mention a carpool and then there is a 'pedophile around the corner' - why? - a little projective identification me thinks in there somewhere The small boy takes a photo of her without her knowing from under her bedclothes of his 'uncles' cock as they put it on a mobile phone and he takes it to school to distribute to his friends - how dose Emma deal with this, well she suggests its from the internet and seduces the head master by taking him to dinner and into the 'mixed toilets' (clearly labeled) and makes him masturbate in front of her, at the point of climax she shows him 'her cock' by raising her dress seductively whilst he sweats and rants at her legs and then he screams in horror all this has been videoed to blackmail the headmaster into not excluding her 7 year old charge from school or she will show his wife - funny, he never mentioned he was married - as this would interfere with her daytime television schedule of course, although she doesnt seem to spend anytime watching tv :/ so that doesnt make any sense at all The Teenage boy, after flunking his English test that Emma was supposed to help him with calls her every abusive name he can think of. Hard as nails Emma takes no notice, some words even i have never even heard - so theres a few more for people to shout out now eh - gee thanks for that one The teenage girl cant get her boyfriend to have sex with her, so Mrs In-Betweeny assists by demonstrating how to by giving head to a selection of vegetables - you get the idea - at the end of the show the girl is doing 'just fine' Finally the girls Boyfriend who comes down in the night to visit the fridge bumps into Mrs IB and quite fancies her, of course Mrs IB asks if she can buy 60 quids worth of weed for her to smoke - as you do The Brother in the show (who now manages the family building firm) has a wife who wants to have a lesbian affair so who else do you ask but a transsexual they know all the lesbians [Groan] - despite being out of the country for years - so quickly arranges a hooker and offers to collect her - yes really Finally the mother... well Mrs IB visits her shop and has a fitting - oh the mother is saying you have such a great figure - and Mrs IB cannot raise the courage to tell her till the end of the show when the mother is released from Jail for being drunk in charge of a motor vehicle vomiting on her windscreen whilst orgasming with love eggs up her she had in her shop - she gave them a rinse off of course, yuk - there just happened to be a police car in front of her - of course it all makes sense All this was designed for the punch line at the end - 'my son is a freak' - and then Mrs IB can list the string of freaks in the family suggesting she isnt actually a freak after all - unfortunately they all have one quirk and Mrs IB has one for each of them and how - so in other words she is pictured as a freak for every other character if you see what i mean there were 9 main characters in this episode and Mrs IB had stereotyped herself for all of them whereas they just had one quirk - very unfair If there was one 'freak' it is the fact that a regular woman is pretending to be a preop transsexual woman for money. lazy casting agents who didnt even at least try and get a male actor for the role at least, and the producers for pimping the concept for it to the BBC - now thats freaky The final scene shows her mincing about in front of a mirror - across the way the girls BF is watching her in silhouette whilst getting his blow job Mrs IB taught her. She drops her robe - the BF does not see this bit - and there she stands nude with a latex cock stuck on her wobbling in front of the mirror she looks at it - for quite some time so we can all have a good look - and then closes her robe and hides 'her shame' Involved in pornography, drug taking, describes herself as a chick-with-a-dick and then blackmails the 'head'teacher, teaching underage girls to give BJs, doing model walks across building sites in mini skirts (the builders do not know that she 'was' a fella) and high heels This is a fantasy tale that is surreptitiously very bitter, the writing is full of a Jerry Springer'esque' Sun or News of the World, Trisha influence, it is designed to capture the new BBC3 market of 15 to 25 yo with all the cliche' and articles theyd expect a transsexual to be and they did not employ a transgender person for the role - not good - that could have helped cancel out a lot of this bias I hope that this gets better cos it cant get any worse Ist Episode Rating 2 out of 5 - 2 simply because its a transsexual and well beggars cant be choosers when it comes to transgender people on the telly IM If you missed it and live in the UK it is still available on BBC IPlayer for a week here http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/ For this and more visit our forums and comment everyday at www.transgenderzone.com :) |
