3:15-4:15            Pornography and LGBT Identities: Documenting Harm, Plotting Resistance w/ Dr. Joelle Ruby Ryan:  From "She-Male Sluts" to Trans-Sister Survivors: Interrogating the Degradation and Sexualization of Transgender Women in the Porn Culture: For a number of years now, a sub-genre of pornography that depicts transgender women, offensively labeled "she-male", has been gaining in popularity.  Like other forms of pornography, "she-male" porn is filled with degrading, misogynistic and racist images that function to further the oppression of transgender women in everyday life.  In this presentation, Joelle Ruby Ryan will utilize words and images from this sub-genre of heterosexual pornography to discuss the backlash against feminism, the economic and cultural war waged against gender-variant people, and the ways in which racism, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia in pornography function to preserve the power and privilege of white, presumably-heterosexual, cisgender men.  Against the backdrop of this archive of cruelty that celebrates rape, bigotry and abuse, trans-feminism can play a powerful role in fighting for a world which truly values all human beings and that will not stand for the fragmentation and destruction of our sacred sexualities.
