Trans-dyke. Sadomasochist. Recovering Scientologist. Pioneering gender outlaw.As well as performance artist and writer Kate Bornstein explodes binaries while deconstructing gender—and her own identity. When she receives a grim cancer diagnosis, Kate confronts her own mor- tality and purpose in life, giving her own motto renewed urgency: ‘Do whatever it takes to make your life worth living. Just don’t be mean.’
MAJK:
Kate Bornstein is a Queer & Pleasant Danger (2014) was a documentary that really stuck with me. This awesome person, too avantgarde for our modern world but knowing exactly how to navigate it. Kate has such a rich history, including injustices and sickness, but her spirits are fiercely up, sending out hope for new generations of gender outlaws. A radical feminist, punk and hippie, she is the auntie I never had.
PLETTE:
I choose Kate Bornstein is a Queer and Pleasant Danger, a personality you won’t forget, a pain in the ass you’ll love forever and will stay with you the rest of your life, beautiful filmed by Sam Feder.
N.B. This movie was made by Sam Feder, who also made Disclosure, a movie that can be seen on Dutch Netflix.
