Miller Frame is now closed after serving Pittsburgh’s framing needs for 50 years.
The Wendi Miller Legacy Project rediscovered this landmark film that showcases the first Transgender Lobby Day in D.C. exactly 30 years ago in October of 1995.
Nearly 100 transgender activists, walked the halls of congress to demand their civil rights be protected by law. The largest regional contingent came from Western PA, and included Elise DeLong, the late Wendi Miller, and her son Cooper.
Filmmaker Rosa von Praunheim collaborated with acclaimed photographer Mariette Pathy Allen for this nuanced portrait of American trans lives and politics in the 1990s. TRANSEXUAL MENACE explores the various factions of the burgeoning trans rights movement, from pioneers like Leslie Feinberg and Virginia Prince to events like the activist group Transexual Menace’s protest, and the Southern Comfort and Fantasia Fair conferences. Woefully underseen and rarely screened, TRANSEXUAL MENACE is an essential piece of trans film history that’s sadly now more relevant than ever.
