Description: As a gay transgender man, I am interested in how the rising awareness of the transexual body is creating new sexual subjectivities, destabilizing homo/heterosexual identity categories. Until recently heteronormativity was required to access medical transition. The construction of socially legible queer trans identities is a contemporary project, one I see as analogous to the creation of the homosexual identity in the previous century. This painting is based on a video of adult film star Noah Way, a pioneer of the pussy boy fantasy. Whether or not this role resonates with us, gay trans men who date cisgender men will invariably interact with this emerging sexual archetype.
