Two years ago my Hungry Beast buddy Ali Russell and I decided to make a doco on Australia's FTM community.
We'd noticed a number of our friends, who had previously identified as "dykes", were coming out as trans and we thought it was important to document this aspect of local queer culture.
The previous year I'd attended the Trans March in San Fran and was blown away by what appeared to be an explosion of trans male culture — thousands of men and gender non-conformists walking topless through the Castro proudly sporting chest scars, moustaches and beards.
