Original subtitles

Ladies, gentlemen, and those of us smart enough to transcend a gender.

I know... I'm fabulous.

My pronoun's a fat bitch.

For me!

This place is wild.

It's rule-breaking, gender-bending,

and it's at the forefront of what I see as a gender revolution.

Gender: it's a subject that gets a lot of people very worked up.

Leave the kid alone.

People get so upset when they see someone like me in a dress.

What exactly is it?

Bender-gender, cis-tem offender.

And why does it matter so much?

-I wanna be a daddy. -You are a daddy.

I want to find out, for me, for you,

for all the eight billion inhabitants of Planet Sex.

PLANET SEX WITH CARA DELEVINGNE

Is this actually meant to be serious? No...

Quite? Half?

Quasi.

For me, I think gender is probably

the most interesting thing

that runs through all of humanity and society,

but it's the conversation that people have the least.

This is probably the first time I've spoken about gender like this,

ever in my life... and it's been 29 years too late!

When I was a little girl,

I liked dressing up in boy's clothes.

I didn't like Barbies, I liked Action Men. I liked cars.

But then if someone mistook me for a guy, I'd be like,

"No, I'm a girl. Can't you see that?"

I started having these gender identity crises as a teenager.

I felt very alone. Completely. There was no one I could talk to.

The whole thing is very odd. I'm still figuring it out.

-That's so sweet. -That was good.

Shut up!

To understand myself better,

I need to discover what gender feels like for other people.

So I'm putting myself out there

and going to meet some fabulous gender queer folk.

There's no better place to start

than with someone who's had an extraordinary gender journey.

This isn't the right place.

This is one of my nearest and dearest friends, Mik.

You might recognise him as Gottmik,

from the legendary Ru Paul's Drag Race.

All right, stunning angel of my life.

This is Roland's studio.

A lot of artistry happens here.

I got ready for Drag Race here,

covered this place with all my stuff.

This is iconic.

I'm a trans man,

which means I was assigned female at birth,

and then transitioned into a man.

But I definitely love playing with femininity.

That's why I love drag so much, it allows you to do that.

I wake up as a guy and go to sleep as a guy.

Gottmik, that female-ish persona,

is 1000% just my art form.

When did you first discover that people can transition?

I'm from Arizona, where it's very conservative.

I didn't even know what trans was.

When I was 18, I met a bunch of trans women

who taught me what trans was and it just clicked.

I didn't transition for so long because I was very feminine,

and all the trans guys I ever saw were just very masculine.

So I used drag to see what I was comfortable with.

It kind of helped me find my gender and realise that

I'm 1000% not a girl and 1000% a guy.

It's amazing.

I started hormones and it was like everything fell into place.

It was almost like every issue I had was solved in one second.

It was like the world was like, "You're on the right path, bitch."

And it was game over.

Mik's journey, from being assigned female at birth,

to a trans man who loves to play with femininity,

has got me thinking about my own path.

If someone had asked me as a kid if I wanted to be a boy...

-Yeah... -I do wonder about this a lot.

If I hadn't become famous, would it be different?

If I wasn't a model, would it have been different?

It is scary.

When I started transitioning, I was a celebrity make-up artist.

It was scary, I was like, my God, what am I going to do?

Go up to my celebrity clients and say "Hi, I'm a man today"?

I can't even imagine even like playing with gender

and trying to figure out shit in front of the world like that.

All right, so where do you think you're headed with this?

I honestly don't know.

The older I've gotten,

the less I'm trying to get approval from my family.

I wonder if I said, "Guys, I want to transition into being a man,"

what they would do?

And by the way, I would never say that to them.

This is the thing, it's nothing against them. They love me.

It's just, some people don't understand what that is.

And they look at you like they don't know you, suddenly.

I love you so much, for who you are.

No, but I mean, that's...

-I wanna be a daddy. -You are a daddy, no matter what.

Maybe one way to explore my inner masculinity

and play with gender is to dress up in drag.

So Gottmik's put me in the make-up chair.

-I love this, thickening your brows. -Yeah, you are.

I haven't ever dressed in male drag apart from when I was nine.

I would go down the street dressed as a boy.

I used to get the foam shaving cream and put it on my face

and pretend to shave with the end of a moisturiser, because it's hard.

I used to do it next to my dad, because I wanted to be...

I get so nervous.

What are we trying to build? Like a gender...

Bender... Cis-tem offender.

Yep.

-I'm writing it down. -Why are you doing that?

-I think I have a problem. -Bender gender cis-tem offender.

-Now we transform her. -OK.

Fem-gen-gen-man, welcome to the world.

It's scary. But in a good way.

-You look like Zac Efron. -It matches my eyebrows perfectly.

I mean, it's not...not...

You honestly look hot as all hell.

And after a bit of that Gottmik magic...

I'm really feeling it.

Wow. What gender is happening here, ladies?

Yep. Gentlemen.

You're cool.

For me, drag is an outward expression

of how I feel inside, in some way, shape or form.

My gender is this kind of like...

multi-coloured sea of...

sometimes it's wavy and sometimes it's completely still,

sometimes there's miles of tidal waves, it's just...

For me, it never feels fixed.

But hold off a second.

Before we dig too deep here, I want to clear some things up.

Like, what actually is gender?

And is it different from what sex you are?

Let's talk about gender, baby!

Gender.

So I've called in my fellow Brit

and expert, Dr Ronx.

-So right now... -This looks fun.

We're going to do cue cards.

-I'm a bit nervous. -Gender.

Oh, my God, that's...

-It's not an easy starter for ten. -What is gender?

Gender is essentially how somebody feels inside,

an innate feeling.

It's not necessarily related to somebody's sex assigned at birth.

Shall we talk about what sex is?

Because I think people can confuse sex and gender.

Yes, exactly. Sex.

OK. Sex...

Sex is essentially a term that's given to people at birth

and it divides people into two, binary constructs, male or female.

It's usually related to their external sex organs.

So... What is your sex?

I mean, my sex is... I have a vagina.

So society assumes that if you have a vagina,

you are going to feel that you are a woman.

And if you have a penis,

that you are going to feel that you are a man.

Not everybody goes on to fit neatly into the box

that society says they should fit into.

Wow. So true.

Trans / transgender.

So, trans people feel that their gender

isn't aligned to the sex they were assigned to at birth.

So for example a female child

may not grow into a woman.

They might identify as a man.

But the thing we have to be very clear about

is that the trans experience

is different for absolutely everybody.

I personally have grown up without feeling like I have a gender.

But it's more that I didn't belong in any of the gender stereotypes.

For me, the whole feminine identity was so annoying,

I was like, I am a person who likes to play outside,

build, climb, do crazy things,

and this dress my mum used to try to put me in

with really long hair, I was like, "I can't do any of those things."

So for me, for example, I don't feel as though I'm a woman.

So I would call myself trans.

I have a vagina and say that my sex is female, fine.

But that doesn't mean I have to walk around the world

in a kind of...

-As a woman. -Yeah, of course.

Some estimate that for around 98% of folk,

their sex and their gender match up.

But about 2% feel differently.

Growing up in the UK,

I've been deeply influenced by my culture's belief

that boys should be boys and girls, well, girls.

But there are other cultures

where sex and gender aren't thought of so rigidly.

OAXACA MEXICO

500 miles south of Mexico City live the indigenous Zapotec people.

And for more than 500 years,

they've recognised not two but three genders:

men, women and muxe.

I'm not a man, I'm not a woman,

I am proud to be muxe.

Welcome to my home.

Felina, like most muxe people,

was assigned male at birth.

I was in primary school

when I realised there were men

and there were women,

and I didn't fit into either.

Because I'm not a woman,

I don't feel like a woman,

but I'm not a man either.

But my brothers, my aunts and my cousins,

they knew as soon as I started walking that I was muxe.

It's a collective discovery, it's not individual.

We don't have to prepare our parents for when we tell them,

"I am muxe."

Instead, everyone knows.

I love that.

Muxe make up about 6% of people in Felina's hometown,

where they play a unique role.

Some choose to dress in traditionally masculine clothing.

But most wear dresses and work in stereotypically feminine trades

such as cooking, hairdressing and weaving.

Today, Felina is bringing together muxe from all over the state,

for an annual festival

celebrating muxe culture, visibility and bravery.

For me, it's very important

to keep our customs and traditions alive,

so that they never die.

It gives us the opportunity

to get together, to hug one another,

to dance and spend time together.

The Catholic Church isn't known for supporting gender diversity,

but here in Oaxaca, it's a big part of the muxe festivities.

As muxes, it's very important to receive a blessing.

The priest says we are all God's children.

Oaxaca is not paradise,

but we have worked

to gain visibility and recognition.

Bravo!

It's the first festival since before the pandemic.

Today I feel very proud, very happy.

What can we show to the world?

Well, obviously, tolerance and acceptance as people.

I think we should be loved and accepted as human beings.

I am what I am.

This is part of me, of my culture

and my way of being.

I feel proud of my identity.

It turns out, it's not just Oaxaca that has more than two genders.

India has the hijra,

in Naples, Italy, there are the feminielli,

many indigenous Americans recognise two-spirit people,

whilst Samoa has the fa'fafine,

and an island in Indonesia even recognises up to five genders.

No, come on, don't eat the birds.

I think the Western culture that I grew up in,

with just two genders, men and women,

is far too restrictive.

It's no wonder some people just can't help but rebel.

Like Alok, who defines themself as non-binary,

meaning they feel neither like a man nor like a woman.

What do you want from me?

Alok's taking me to a tailor in the West Village

whose family has been dressing the gender non-conforming community

for 35 years.

-Hi. -How are you?

-Oh, my God. -Your dress is ready, I think.

-That looks great. -I want you to try them.

OK.

-How do you like it? -It's really great.

-The length is good. -Yeah.

-It looks good. -Can we get more room up here?

-More room here? -My shoulders are kind of wide.

-We can do that. -Thank you.

People get so upset when they see someone like me in a dress.

They'll go, "That's a man in a dress!"

So what?

Why are we so concerned with policing fashion?

Do you think the binary has affected us badly?

-Yes. -Is that more along the lines...?

We're constantly saying,

"You're not masculine enough, feminine enough."

We're constantly made to feel like we're not enough.

Being a man has to be opposite to being a woman.

It only gives us two options.

There's so many different genders and sexes and sexualities,

in animals and plants and humans.

Gender and sexual diversity is what's natural,

not dividing billions of complex things into two categories.

Why, when it comes to humans, do we say,

you all have to be this way?

Yeah, put it in a box, black and white, this or that.

Meeting you, you're so... outside of gender.

And you have such confidence in your masculinity.

And for me it was a wake-up call

that all of us are in this journey

of trying to figure out who we are outside of what we've been told.

And that, actually, in a world without that societal pressure,

who would we be?

These things are so ingrained in us,

I realise how much internalised shame I have against myself,

not to anyone else,

But it's still... whatever your parents or grandparents believed.

It does take a long time to change

but the quicker it happens, the more people will find freedom.

I often say, they'll try their best to destroy you

and call it love.

But it was often the people who said that they loved me first

who were policing my gender.

I had to...

deny myself, erase myself, invisibilise myself,

So I didn't allow any video recordings of me,

I didn't want any photos or audio recordings,

because I felt I was too feminine, my voice and gestures too girly.

I was literally in a straightjacket.

So I wouldn't express myself at all.

Can I ask how your relationship is with your family now?

It's so much better now.

I think because they saw how... this is what happiness is.

Yeah, it's so important.

I want to be happy, I want to be me,

I want to live life outside of norms and binaries,

I want to live the question.

And one of the things I wanted to ask you is,

modelling, do you feel like it's difficult

to figure out what your own image is?

Yeah.

Yeah, really.

My identity as a person, I don't really know what that is.

In the way of, like...

I went from being a suicidal, depressed teenager

to going straight out of school and becoming a famous model.

I don't know who I am. Lots of people don't know who they are.

-Right. -I'm nearly 30 and I feel like 16.

Our experiences show

how harmful rigid ideas about masculinity and femininity are.

Not just to people who feel they don't fit,

but to all of society.

For what it's worth, if I had grown up in a world

that understood the complexities of gender a bit better,

I think my childhood would have been a lot easier and happier.

When I was a teenager,

I mean, I had a lot of mental stuff going on.

Pretty heavy depression, suicidal thoughts,

you know, I had a mental breakdown.

It was all to do with finding identity and sexuality and gender...

Yeah, I think a lot of that was pretty rough.

Because I wasn't like everyone else.

But actually, I was wrong.

Like me, a lot of people growing up feel confused about gender.

The big question is, why?

Well, gender can be influenced by how and where we're brought up,

social pressures,

and science tells us that some of it is down to our biology.

That's you there, in the womb,

with a soup of sex hormones running through your body.

One key ingredient is testosterone.

For many people, the more testosterone in the mix,

the more male you may look on the outside and feel inside.

Low testosterone may make you look and feel more female.

But hormones combine in complex ways,

meaning sometimes you look one way and feel quite different.

That's why gender is more of a spectrum than just men and women.

And, perhaps surprisingly, so is your body.

Genes and hormones influence whether you develop a penis or a vagina,

and there can be dozens of biological variations.

Meet River Gallo.

They are not male or female, they are intersex,

meaning their sex at birth was unclear.

I used to religiously not step on cracks.

Of course, me too.

Two in a row's good, three in a row's bad luck.

You have to spin round ten times,

kick a lamp-post, spit and go, "Aye, aye, sailor."

Ow...

That's what happens when you're with your bad luck friend.

Fuck you, tree.

River's family runs an El Salvadorean restaurant.

I cannot wait to find out more about their extraordinary story.

-This is my mom. -Thank you so much for having me.

I'm Cara.

Hi.

-Baby. -Hi, Mom.

And to try their famous pupusas.

-These are really good. -Cheese or meat.

Yes, pupusa!

I always say, the pupusas paid for my college.

Tell me a little bit about you growing up.

I knew there was something different about me since I was 12,

which was when my doctors told me I was born without testicles.

So the idea was, we're going to give you the hormones,

you're going to turn into a boy.

You're going to have these testicles

and you're going to look male down there.

And, essentially,

I was put on testosterone to start going through puberty,

and then, when I was 16, I had a surgery

to implant prosthetic testicles into my scrotum.

I wasn't until I went, I want to make a film out of it

that I realised that my condition was intersex.

So it wasn't until I was 26 that I realised that...

-Twenty-six. -Yeah.

There was a word that existed and it was me that looked it up.

River's groundbreaking short film Ponyboi

follows a young, intersex runaway navigating love

and seeking self-acceptance.

It's one of the few films ever

to star an intersex person as an intersex lead.

It opened up a whole new world for River.

While writing the screenplay, I discovered that

my condition is part of the larger intersex umbrella

and found that there were these intersex activists,

who were really vocal about their experiences.

Was it something you were scared of?

Or were you just so happy to find out...

-I mean, like, surely... -Yeah...

Definitely, both.

It was a relief because it was community, people, support,

and at the same time it was like...

What the fuck? Why did it take this long?

Why did no doctor, in these last 10 or 12 years, tell me anything?

I recently looked at my journals from that time.

It was heartbreaking,

because there was a lot of talk of not wanting to live.

There was a lot of, like, just confusion...

Are you going to cry? OK...

-Just checking. -Shut up! God, you're annoying.

-It breaks my heart, though. -My heart was broken.

I was crying, reading these journal entries.

It was just, like, wow, nobody was really...

I needed help. I was, like,

"I don't feel good, I want to see a therapist."

My parents got me therapists.

-Were you not really pissed? -Yeah!

I turned that anger into activism.

Is it still the norm, if you're born intersex, to be assigned a gender?

Pretty much, yeah. Most doctors say, this is what has to happen.

Leave the kid alone!

It's also doctors preparing children to have heterosexual sex.

Because that's what it is, it's a hetero-patriarchal agenda.

That's part of the reason why this,

what I like to call the intersex tipping point is now happening.

Now we're finally realising that our shared experience

is collective power to get these laws made,

so that no intersex child has to go through what we've been through.

It was really, really nice to meet River.

There was a sadness about like...

being emotionally unsupported,

going through all this medical stuff alone.

How crazy it would have been to have someone

make medical decisions that I couldn't even have control over.

So our sexual biology is actually this kaleidoscope of diversity.

It's estimated that up to 1.7% of us humans are intersex,

about the same number of people with red hair.

Our bodies don't always fit neatly into two categories.

So is this the same for our minds?

The University of Cambridge, home to Britain's brainiacs,

where scientist Dr Christelle Langley

has been investigating if gender shows up in the brain.

What we tried to do in our study was

to look at whether we could identify

typically male or female brains.

Brain scans of almost 10,000 people from all around the world

have been analysed with artificial intelligence

trained to pick out patterns of neural activity

that differ between males and females.

Interesting. But why are we looking at a cake?

The brain is made up of a number of areas and regions,

much like the ingredients of a cake.

It's similar in the brain,

in that we can't identify these individual components.

The important thing is how the whole brain functions together.

Male and female brains are structurally very similar,

but the team discovered differences in the way they communicate.

Brains were given a score

for how typically male or female their connection patterns are,

and plotted onto... Get ready for it!

A brain-sex continuum.

You'd maybe expect the 10,000 brains

to neatly divide into two groups according to their sex.

But what Dr Christelle discovered was a surprise.

So in our study, what we managed to show was that

approximately 25% mapped onto

the male end of a continuum,

and approximately 25% mapped onto

the female end of the continuum.

The really interesting finding was that 50% of people

had what we call an androgynous brain,

and didn't show any of these

very stereotypical male and female traits.

So the majority don't have brains that are clearly male or female.

They're somewhere in between.

The brain, in terms of sex, is a spectrum.

And that's not all.

We also showed that the 50% that had the androgynous brain

actually had better mental health,

specifically internalising symptoms such as depression and anxiety.

Both the female and male ends of the spectrum had worse mental health.

The study showed people with more androgynous brains

are happier and healthier.

All things, considered, I would choose a slice from this cake.

It's dropping. Sorry!

I think it is way too easily seen for most

as black and white, male and female.

It's so much more dynamic...

and interesting and fascinating than just what it is.

But it's so much more complicated

than just the simple way that you're born.

The whole thing is so archaic, in so many ways.

Okay, story so far:

Rather than being strictly male or female,

our bodies and our minds are more fluid and varied

than they ever thought possible.

A massive mix of circumstances creates millions of unique people

with their own gender identity.

and that's generating lots of revolutionary ideas

about who you can be in the world.

In Japan, there's a gender phenomenon

that's grown over the last 15 years.

Touch your tie.

Dansō: people assigned female at birth

working and often living as men.

I became dansō when I was about 20 years old.

My identity is complete when I am dressed as a man.

There are dansō boy-bands,

dansō bars and dansō heartthrobs.

But behind the showbiz glitz of dansō as entertainment,

lies a really authentic way of life.

Meet Jin, who lives as a dansō full-time.

Welcome.

I usually explain that I live my daily life behaving as a man,

while acknowledging that I am female.

In the past, in Japanese society,

men should be like this,

and women should be like this.

I feel there's a lot of pressure.

I don't like it, I think it's wrong.

Like many dansō, Jin works as an escort.

A strictly non-sexual one, playing the perfect boyfriend.

Jin's got an escort date tonight.

-Ayaka? -Yes.

Good evening. Nice to meet you. I'm Jin.

-Are you nervous? -I am nervous.

It looks so good.

I'd love to hear what you've been up to.

I work in sales.

I think that most women have a strong desire to be heard.

Cheers.

Because I was born female,

I know what a woman wants.

It certainly seems Jin knows how to make a woman feel special.

But I'm curious to know

whether wearing masculine clothing is enough for him.

There was a time

when I wondered if I was transgender.

There are parts of me that are female,

I can live as a dansō,

so I decided not to have surgery.

I am going to live with both the inner part of me that is masculine,

and the feminine part of me,

That's what feels right to me.

I think it's a new form,

a new way of belonging.

I totally get why the dansō want to live and dress like men.

So far, I've only expressed my more masculine side through what I wear.

I've never quite worked out whether I should go further than that.

I'm going on a date Wednesday night,

so what are we doing on Thursday?

Oh, my God, you'll never escape.

When I first started learning about trans people,

I was like, "Wait, but I...felt that,"

or "I went through that when I was young,"

or "that's kind of crazy..."

And then thinking, "Am I living a lie?"

"Is this this giant secret that maybe I should be a man?"

And then like, but also, "No."

Alfie...

I love him so much.

What would it be like to have a man's body?

And is that me?

That's a tough question to answer.

There's someone in Spain who can give me a taste

of what that might feel like.

This lushly-coiffed cognitive neuroscientist,

Dr Marte Roel Lesur,

is the brains of a cutting-edge laboratory

packed with very cool tech.

Welcome to the gender swap.

It's just so cool.

I'm very excited. Can we do it now?

Ready?

You can sit down here.

Here comes the curtain. Say goodbye to yourselves.

Apparently, I'm going to swap bodies

with the guy sitting opposite me, Carlos.

I don't know why, I'm a little scared.

My VR headset is not showing my body,

it's showing his, on me.

They have a camera in front so they can see their full bodies.

What we do is swap the cameras.

The sensation is making me feel queasy.

But my head is actually starting to get in sync with this male body.

My God, this is so weird.

Cara will see how we grab his hand, and stroke it,

And at the same time, my colleague is stroking Cara's hand.

It really feels like I'm in the body of a man.

I've got man hands!

No way!

That is crazy, guys.

We open a curtain that is separating

the space between the two people,

and they face themselves as another person.

This is your hand. This one, right here.

-No, so confusing. -This one.

What?

I feel like I've become Carlos.

Dude, this is crazy.

Our self identity, the way we perceive ourselves,

is very grounded on our bodies.

However, it is possible to shift this,

to feel that we are somebody else, something else.

This tells us that gender is much more fluid,

it's not as fixed as we once thought.

I'm so confused.

That's so weird.

The coolest thing in the world... oh, my God.

The experiment is short

but so intense and completely mind-bending.

That was so crazy.

I knew it was going to be amazing

I just didn't understand exactly how crazy that was.

-That was. -Yeah, it's really a lot.

There is a moment when you lose your perspective as your body,

and then you are fully into that body.

Once you're in it for a while, it's like, wow,

you get so used to it.

How come I've got such muscly legs?

It's like, that's me but then... how to feel me?

You know? It's...

But it was emotional at the end,

when you see yourself and hug yourself.

It's quite shocking, yes.

That really made me feel quite sad, it was like, that's adorable.

That was just so scary, and so interesting.

I don't know how much I liked it, it was quite uncomfortable.

The feeling, the sensation of touching someone,

that's when it became real,

otherwise it was "This is cool, technology..."

But when you touch...

it was "I'm in a man's body!" It was really quite crazy.

It made me happy to be a woman, in so many ways.

It was like, I'm weird.

Because usually I... but would I want to look at my dick?

And it was like, not really.

It made me feel weird.

Trying to be a man, I realised...

I was a lot more feminine in the way that I move than I thought I was.

I am a she, right now.

But I also like dressing as a man and being a him.

I could just be a woman that wants to be a man sometimes.

I know I started this journey as a slightly confused young woman,

not quite sure of my place in the world.

But this bizarre experience is making me realise

that gender is way more interesting and fluid than I ever imagined.

Maybe I don't have to put a label on myself.

I'm in my home town, London!

I'm ending this journey where I started,

with the fabulous folk at cabaret night Bar Wotever.

A very, very special haven where,

gender-wise, you can literally be whatever you want.

Tell me what it's like. I've never been here.

-I'm... -Your first time.

Bar Wotever is...The name says it,

it's a night that we put on where everything's welcome.

All you have to do is walk through the door

and there is a room, a whole community of people right there.

-It's so incredible. -That's so cool.

How do you... What are your pronouns?

They, them, she, her.

He, him, they, them.

They, them.

She, her, she-daddy.

She-daddy, I like that.

I feel it's going to make a lot of people happy when they...

I like that.

There's no pressure, everything should be allowed to be fluid.

You can try pronouns, try different names,

different expressions.

There's just so much freedom within it.

Especially at a night like this, it's just freedom.

It's liberating to now feel able to talk about

this tricky subject that I used to just run away from.

This is the place to see, both on and off stage,

just how diverse gender can be.

Ladies, gentlemen, and those of us smart enough

to transcend a gender.

Come on, it's time for the world to open up its arms to gender

in all of its fantastic forms.

People need to have conversations about gender,

no matter where you're from, how old you are.

So let's talk about it.

Now I feel like I dance between the lines, I sway back and forward.

Whether it's masculine or feminine, it's just who I am.

I'm a loose willow tree, blowing in the wind of gender.

I don't think there are actually words to express how freeing,

and how "right" I feel in myself now.

I've realised that gender has no signifier

on how you look, how you talk, what you do with your life.

I don't think it should matter at all,

people should just be people.

despite what their gender is, or isn't,

I hope that in the future,

we can all exist in the same space together.

And every single gender expression is completely valid.

I'm just living off this queer energy.

It's a beautiful place.

I've never really been out and seen this community in this way.

It's a lot of emotion, a lot of support, a lot of love.

People can feel very weighed down by a conversation about gender.

But it is fun, it should be fun, it should be an experience,

an experiment, a way of expressing yourself and playing with it.

Can I go back in?

Okay, here I go, I'm going...

Planet Sex, yeah!
