GENDERNAUTS

For more than 15 years, sexual provocateur and film festival fixture Monika Treut has been cheerfully championing a laissez-faire approach to the pleasures of the flesh in her documentaries and features, rattling the cages of moralists and militants alike, by eschewing politically correct strategies in favor of a more benevolent approach to gender expression. She's at it again in Gendernauts, a surprisingly accessible look at "gender elimination phenomena", that focuses on a handful of travelers journeying from female to male.
