    Glen or Glenda

    film/video, 1953

    Probably the first ever transgender film: Glen or Glenda? (I Led Two Lives), made in 1954 soon after Christine Jorgensen's story became the world media's first representation of a person who had "changed sex". Wood, a cross dresser himself, was inspired by her story and called for tolerance with his sympathetic, if quirky portrayal of intersexuals, transsexuals and transvestites. this brilliantly bad move by Ed Wood defines postmodern transgender aesthetic sensibilities. Seriously. Boldly innovative in its use of found footage, the film requires voice-over narration to render intelligible its jarring visual discontinuities, making it a theory-head's wet dream that mocks the distinction between high art and garbage. The film's impassioned deference of sexual diversity makes it fun for all kinds of viewers.
