Oh... I saw you only got the English Version link. But don't be fooled we stopped in 2014. We just didn't have funding for translating and managing all our content in 2015 and upcoming 2016 events. But if your Spanish is good, you will find more content on our Spanish page at: http://imperfectu.com/es/
Ahh, gotcha. I didn't notice that part, and had seen some spread in dates between youtube and vimeo. Sorry about that :(
Unfortunately I have one of those ironic screen names in that I speak no next to no Spanish. I'm a native English speaker who remembers a little French from high school/collage and a tiny bit of Hebrew from waaaaay long ago. Lol.
I'd really love to see this back up and running again! Maybe the content you're going to be bringing to Steemit can help fund it. While I know many of the LGB in the US have somewhat gotten over the 'hump' legally, the focus in 'pop culture' has now shifted to the transgender community. I believe the statistic is that 9 out of 10 people know or love somebody that is gay (with the awareness campaign starting in the early 80's)...the trans community now needs to start moving towards having stats like these.
You're film festival is a great way to help many 'step out of the shadows' to let that happen.
I read now the post. Nicely written! Sure, bringing in some extra revenue for our content creators would be huge, and extra cash for translators to keep the festival bilingual even better. Thanks again.
Thank you! :)
I guarantee you there are people already here who would jump at the chance of offering translation services! I can ask around and see if I can at least get contact info for whenever it'd be needed. :)
Thank you so much for this post, @sykochica! Imperfectu ( @imperfectu ) will soon start posting about its previous and next moves. We are so thankful to have people like you backing up our ideas. :)
More than happy to post on this! I can't wait to see what you all have in store for us here!
You've definitely got my backing! And like @williambanks mentioned, I've got the reblogger ready to go as well :D
(Should we just start calling it resteem instead? It's gonna change anyway. lol)
Hi @sykochica, I'm right in the middle of something, so to be honest I didn't read your article yet, but will do for sure later. However, thanks so much for featuring us. @jomaze is my wife who really should earn all the credit for creating this Festival. We will soon be using Steem as our primary blog space, so there will be more of the LGBTQIA crowds flowing into this space... stay tuned. :)
Oh no worries! Imperfectu just came on my radar recently and today was the day to talk about it! Just with what
I've seen so far it's an amazing project and very meaningful to me. I've got both you and your wife on follow now so I won't miss any posts when the time comes.
I'm really pretty excited to see some LBGTQIA influx here. I can personally attest it's a comfortable place to bear one's soul, especially on topics of sexual orientation and gender identity. A good percentage of my posts for a while have been on LGBT related issues, but somewhat limited since I mainly talk from personal experience. I did do a bit more research in What is Gender? and What is Non-Binary Gender, Genderqueer or Genderfluid? though. Lol.
Anyway...I can't wait to see what you all bring to Steemit! :D
Thank you! This was a fun one to share!
Outside the last handful of years, most the transgender media I'd been exposed to was mostly done in comedic fashion, which while entertaining...only so useful. These are just flat out helpful both for me and to recommend to others wanting a better understanding of being trans (even if not out to anybody.)
I completely agree!
I do have to admit that I never would have posted any of my LGBT related or personal story stuff anywhere else but Steemit! No troll comments, no hate, nothing but support.
While shows like those you've mentioned are great for spreading the kind of hidden inner world of trans* people, I really love how the show Sense8 treats the trans character as they do any of the other characters. Normalization is humanization. Of course, I shouldn't be surprised considering both of the Wachowskis have now transitioned. 😆
I keep forgetting to binge watch that one! Think I got distracted after the first episode, but I remember liking it. :)
I do completely agree with the normalization is humanization statement. Frequently people model another person by a characteristic like LGBTQIA, race, religion, etc. and completely missing the essence (or homonculous is @williambanks is watching) of who they really are.

You guys should presell tickets to 2017 here on steemit and let people pay in SBD
That'd be interesting!
Thank you so much for this post, @sykochica! Imperfectu ( @imperfectu ) will soon start posting about its previous and next moves. We are so thankful to have people like you backing up our ideas. :)
Let me know when that happens and I will reblog it for you too!

Steemit is the venue to discuss any topics, in fact the wider the spectrum of topics, the better

Always watching you. Don't always, always watch. But I read all I can.
