09:48 Question of the Week
" I'm basically what you'd call a herterosexual (sic), but now that I'm in my fifties, I'm starting to think along other lines. I already am in an internet relationship (over a year) with a man who is "trans-gendering". My question is: Is there anyone out there that is exploring the fact that "straight" men are looking for she-male partners. I apologize for the "quotes", but I hope you know what I mean i.e. if your really straight, then why the question about she-males "

Join us for a fascinating conversation with performance artist Dréd Gerestant, who brings a new dimension of drag to life.
