The Trans List, directed by portrait photographer and filmmaker Timothy Greenfield-Sanders and with interviews by trans author and advocate Janet Mock, explores the range of experiences lived by Americans who identify as transgender (an umbrella term for people whose gender identity does not conform to that typically associated with the sex they were assigned at birth). No two experiences of trans people are exactly alike. Transgender,”“trans- sexual,”“genderqueer,”“bi-gender,” and “non gender-binary,” are just a few of the multitude of self-identifiers in the trans community. This film gives a platform to a diverse group of eleven individuals to tell their stories in their own words of their experience with identity, family, career, love, struggle and accomplishment. Many Americans have a profound lack of understanding of what it means to be trans, and as a consequence trans people commonly face a wide variety of discrimination and barriers to equality. Most states do not provide protection for trans people when it comes to basic needs like housing, education and employment. Violence committed against trans people, especially trans women of color, is disproportionately high. Our hope is that this film will help illuminate the trans experience in this country, as our subjects share their complexity, humanity, courage, trials and triumphs.

XXX 30 Porn-Star Portraits Timothy Greenfield-Sanders Introduction by Gore Vidal XXX is a provocative look at today's leading porn stars combined with insightful, offbeat, and engaging texts by an all-star literary lineup. The photographs are by renowned art and celebrity-portrait photographer Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, who has made paired portraits (one clothed and one nude) of the top stars in pornographic film. A cross section of straight and gay men and women is represented, from industry legends to rising stars. Performers in the book include celebrities such as Jenna Jameson (the leading porn star of our time), Ron Jeremy, and Nina Hartley, as well as fast-rising names like Sunrise Adams, Belladonna, and Chad Hunt. The book includes short essays on the intersection of pornography and culture by a wide range of distinguished contributors, from Salman Rushdie to John Malkovich, Nancy Friday to John Waters, A.M. Homes to Lou Reed. Candid photographs with personal biographies and top-ten film lists for each porn star appear at the back of the book. XXX is a landmark artistic work that will contribute to the ongoing debate about the “pornification” of the culture at large. Bulfinch Press Copyright © 2004 by Timothy Greenfield-Sanders
