Exploitation Without a Balancing Representation

http://womenborntranssexual.com/2010/03/27/exploitation-without-a-balancing-representation/I do not like censorship. This leaves me with ambivalent feelings regarding the latest brouhaha over what is probably a campy low budget exploitation movie, "Ticked Off ->-bleeped-<-s With Knives".

Because I haven't seen the film being discussed I have no real way of knowing if it falls in the campy queer cinema of say John Waters and Andy Warhol or in the dumb and violent arena of Guyville.
On a positive note I have heard the film defended as having actual sisters in the roles of the "Ticked off ->-bleeped-<-s" . This would generally cause me to rank it several steps higher than the most well intentioned trans themed films that use a cis-sexual/gender actor or actress in drag face to play the role of the transsexual or transgender person.
