An illuminating and compassionate look at the world of transgender identity, as seen through portraits of some of San Francisco's leading gender mixers.

Filmmaker Monika Treut elicits testimonials from a diverse array of personalities, as well as expert opinions from sex celebrity Annie Sprinkle and the "Goddess of Cyberspace" Sandy Stone.
