THE OUTFIELD

The State of Trans Athletes by

GreGG Shapiro

The full-page ad on the back of the Sunday Minneapolis Star Tribune sports section was meant to attract attention. It certainly did. “A male wants to shower beside your 14-year-old daughter,” the ominous black type read. “Are YOU ok with that?” The ad was purchased by the Minnesota Child Protection League. It appeared days before the Minnesota State High School League – the governing body for interscholastic athletics – was to vote on a policy regarding inclusion of transgender student-athletes. A draft of the policy would provide recommendations and guidelines for administrators, athletic directors and coaches at member schools to follow. It would not be a mandate. The draft noted that “fundamental fairness, as well as most local, state and federal rules and regulations, requires schools to provide a transgender student with equal opportunities to participate in athletics.” If a student, and the student’s parents or guardian, submitted a letter requesting participation on a sports team, the guidelines recommend that school officials use the gender identity shown on school registration documents – along with information from the student’s medical personnel regarding hormonal treatment, sexual reassignment surgery and counseling – to determine the student’s gender. The MSHSL policy also provides for an appeals process. The draft suggests that schools devise a plan to address eligibility and accommodations for transgender students; that correct names and pronouns be used according to a student’s self-identification; that “reasonable and appropriate restroom and locker rooms” be accessible for students; that teachers, counselors, coaches, administrators, parents, students and others be educated about transgender sensitivity, and that students be permitted to dress according to their gender identity. Minnesota is not the first state to address trans issues in interscholastic sports.

Trans*Athlete – an online resource – lists policies for nearly two dozen states, including several in the Midwest. Many include language similar to that proposed by the MSHSL. However, Virginia, Georgia and North Carolina require students to participate based on their birth certificate gender (which can, of course, be legally changed). Pat Griffin – a former coach and pioneering researcher in the area of sexuality and sports – has written about trans inclusion for the National Federation of State High School Associations (the umbrella organization for interscholastic sports). She identifies several major concerns, usually related to MTF athletes on girls’ teams. However, she says, trans girls are not boys. “Their consistent and affirmed gender identity as girls is as deep-seated as the gender identity of non-transgender girls,” Griffin writes. They do not “dominate” girls teams. She adds that “taller, bigger, stronger athletes compete against shorter, smaller, less strong athletes every day in girls and boys sports.” There is no research, she says, supporting the contention that trans girls create a competitive imbalance. Griffiin suggests that high schools be proactive, developing a policy before a transgender student wants to try out for a team. She offers resources for formulating effecphoto by Mike LeDray tive, fair policies, and share with us on guymag.net

urges that privacy protections be built in. That’s what the Minnesota State High School League did. But the full-page ad crystallized a deep-seated fear of some: that the locker room would become a place of depravity if trans athletes are allowed to participate in high school sports. For two days recently, dozens of Minnesotans addressed the MSHSL. Some cited the ad in their comments. Others said that teenagers “choose” their sexual identity. But other speakers urged approval of the policy. One parent said, “When my son was transitioning I had fears, but they were all based on my past. Kids don’t care. That’s not the case anymore….What you are looking at passing here will give him the support he needs.” Trans student-athlete Zeam Porter said, “My love for basketball last year made me believe I could handle being on the wrong team. That was wrong. Constantly being misgendered and called the wrong name took away my soul.” According to Helen Carroll, sports project director at the National Center for Lesbian Rights, fewer than 10 students a year request accommodations based on gender identity. In fact, she said, because they fear bullying or are self-conscious about their body, many trans teenagers do not participate in interscholastic athletics at all. Those who do may feel threatened. They are not the predators suggested by the MCPL ad. “You’re not a boy showering next to a girl,” said the mother of a trans youth. “A transgender girl is a girl. There’s a difference between your parts and your gender….To be misgendered as a boy when you are actually a trans girl is incredibly offensive.” There is this reality too: Very few high school athletes shower at school anyway these days. But the debate will continue. Earlier this month, the Minnesota State High School League punted. Pleading the need for more time to study the issue, the organization delayed a vote until Dec. 4.

ENTERTAINMENT

Deep Inside Hollywood by

Romeo San Vicente

AMERICAN GIGOLO’S NEXT TRICK

American Gigolo is coming to TV. And no, this is not a mistake and we’re not talking about a new season of Gigolos, Showtime’s cheesy “reality” show about male escorts in Las Vegas. We’re talking about a new television series from Showtime based on the classic ’80s neo-noir film American Gigolo, the one that starred Richard Gere as a beautiful and expensive sex worker. It was also the one that jumpstarted the decade in ways Reagan never could, giving us skinny ties, GQ as an adjective, full-frontal male nudity, permission as a culture to begin objectifying male bodies, and Blondie’s “Call Me.” So far there’s no casting information or shooting schedule, just a commitment to produce from Jerry Bruckheimer, the promise of beefcake and, maybe, a relaxing of the original character’s distaste for male customers. This is all good news, of course. And now that there’s no more Hung or The Client List, we need a show about prostitution that the country can rally around and believe in again.

Richard Gere in the original American Gigolo then, The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight, the novel by Jennifer E. Smith, soon to be a film from Dustin Lance Black (Milk), starring Steinfeld. The young adult romance is set over the course of 24 hours and involves a girl named Haldey waiting at JFK airport, where she meets her seatmate on a flight to London, a young man named Oliver. Love blooms at 40,000 feet. We don’t know which one of them is the statistician. We hope it’s her. And we also hope nobody has to die at the end. That’s been happening a lot lately. Not so into it anymore.

WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE MAKE FORTUNE FEIMSTER MORE FAMOUS?

HAILEE STEINFELD CALCULATES LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT Hailee Steinfeld has, at this point in her short, young, career, spent her time playing characters whose serious, headstrong personalities have allowed her to sidestep the usual roles thrown at teen actors (and we will collectively forget that terrible Romeo and Juliet adaptation she wound up in). But with those sorts of roles in lesser supply and with the YA-novelto-film machine chugging along, demanding more and more A-list young ’uns to stock their ranks, it was inevitable that she would find her way into one. Presenting,

share with us on guymag.net

OK, let’s try this again. Regular viewers of Chelsea Lately already know the wild talent of queer stand-up Fortune Feimster, the staff writer and roundtable staple whose fearless comedy is the perfect combination of smart, physical, bold and weird. With the end of Lately, Feimster was ready to move on to bigger projects. And that’s where Hollywood stepped in and made everything complicated. First there was the sitcom Chelsea Handler herself was to produce. Then there was Cabot College, the Tina Fey pilot starring Feimster that was not theguymag

theguymag

picked up to go to series. So here’s hoping the third time – with an asyet-unnamed pilot, again from Fey, again starring Feimster, scooped up by ABC – will charm someone with the power to order a full season of episodes. This one is, apparently, more tailored directly to Feimster, based on her own family life and set in her home state of North Carolina. We don’t care if it’s set on the moon, just give us more of that awesome lesbian.

PEE-WEE SAYS IT A LITTLE LOUDER THIS TIME

Official announcements are a strange thing. We had heard the new Pee-wee Herman movie was a go a while back. But then maybe it wasn’t as go-ish as we had been led to believe. Or maybe it was and then someone’s mind changed, or money didn’t come through, or studio executives played musical chairs, or Paul Reubens was speaking out of turn, or who knows. In the business of entertainment, sometimes it’s a miracle that anything gets accomplished at all, much less something as important as a new Pee-wee project of any sort. But now Reubens himself, a few nights ago on The Tonight Show, announced it again: There will be a Pee-wee Herman film and Judd Apatow will produce it. It’s official. It’s official-official. It’s ready for you to love it so much you want to marry it. Well, not ready, really. Nothing’s happened yet. But something’s going to happen. They mean it this time. More details as this develops. Every single detail, including exclusive information about wigs and puppets. You heard it hear first. Again.

THEATRE

Island City Stage Finds Another Hit in Michael Aman’s “POZ” BY

CHRISTINE DOLEN

o The premise of POZ, a play by Michael Aman, is now getting its world premiere in Fort Lauderdale thanks to Island City Stage. The play may be off-putting or barely believable to some. But know this: Aman’s comedy (yes, POZ is most definitely funny, as well as insightful, touching and deftly written) is a largely wonderful new work that is likely to have a life beyond this first production. Island City has been on a roll since winning six Carbonell Awards for last season’s production of The Timekeepers, and the momentum continues with POZ. (The Timekeepers returns, this time to the West Boca Theatre Company, Dec. 3-21.) Performed at Empire Stage, the play blends realism with other-worldly fantasy in a script that’s fresh, smart and laced with inside-theater references — not surprising, given that Aman has a doctorate in theater history. The simple story centers around Edison (Pierre Tannous), an aspiring musical theater performer who pays his bills by waiting table at Joe Allen in Manhattan in 2003. Edison has talent, no health insurance and leukemia. Though he’s HIV negative, when he learns that a program for HIV-positive men would get him the chemotherapy he needs, he turns to a web site for “POZ” guys to set up a date. Desperate times, desperate measures. So there’s that challenging premise. Yet POZ doesn’t play out in a way that’s weird or unsettling. On the contrary, from its first moments, when Jessica Peterson appears as a no-longer-young actress struggling to climb the stairs in her apartment building with its forever-broken elevator, you know from Aman’s writing that you’re in for a treat. Director Michael Leeds, Island City’s associate artistic director and winner of last year’s Carbonell as best director of a play for The

POZ

Timekeepers, has cast POZ beautifully, and the actors tap into the piece’s lighthearted, stylish spirit. The one character that doesn’t quite work is Arthur, though that’s through no fault of actor Christian Vandepas. Arthur is both a link among the others and a symbol of the time before effective treatment commuted what was too frequently a death sentence. He is meant to be comforting, but tonally, Arthur seems to be in another play, and this one might be better off without him. Peterson, a Carbonell winner too seldom seen on South Florida stages these days, grandly owns the role of Catherine, an actress who has seen it, done it and played it all. She’s imperious but clearly vulnerable as she delivers some of Aman’s sharpest lines. Likewise, Jeffrey Bruce as a caseworker (and proud theater queen) named Oscar and Janet Weakley as Maia, a kooky lesbian medium who happens to be Oscar’s ex, ride the waves of Aman’s comedy like champion surfers. In the Camille role of Edison, Tannous is sweetly charismatic and captivating, so that it’s easy to understand why everyone who meets him wants to help him. He also shares a small sample of his theguymag

theguymag

fine singing voice as Edison belts Mary Todd’s Song (with music by Leeds), supposedly a fondly remembered solo from the only musical Catherine ever attempted. As Robert, a once sexually voracious Log Cabin Republican lawyer who might represent the solution to Edison’s problem, Larry Buzzeo conveys the humor and crumbling defenses that just might make an unlikely pairing work. The design team — Peter A. Lovello (costumes), Preston Bircher (lighting), David Hart (sound) and Michael McClain (whose set seems to have been dipped in an endless blue sky with fluffy white clouds) — does its part to bring this new work creatively to life. With POZ, Island City adds to its reputation as a company whose work is significant and engaging. WHAT: World premiere of POZ by Michael Aman. WHERE: Island City Stage production at Empire Stage, 1140 N. Flagler Dr., Fort Lauderdale. WHEN: 8 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 5 p.m. Sunday, through Nov. 23 COST: $30. INFORMATION: 954-519-2533 or www.islandcitystage.org.

SCREEN SAVOR

Directorial Dynamite and a Dud by

GreGG Shapiro

Jon Stewart goes out of his way to prove that he has a serious side, without losing his sense of humor, with his directorial debut Rosewater (Open Road). Based on the memoir by Iranian journalist Maziar Bahari, Rosewater is a timely story of paranoia, freedom of expression and religious fanaticism. Following his coverage of the 2009 Iranian presidential elections in

Tehran, including an interview he did with hot Daily Show correspondent Jason Jones, Bahari (Gael Garcia Bernal) is arrested at the home of his mother Moloojoon (Shohreh Aghdashloo) and subsequently imprisoned, interrogated and tortured for 100 days. The son of a deceased communist, Akbar (Haluk

SCREEN SAVOR Bilginer), who was imprisoned during the reign of the Shah (and whose “ghost” visits and strengthens Bahari during his own imprisonment), and the brother of Maryam (Golshifteh Farahani), who was similarly jailed by the Khomeini regime, Bahari and his mother are accustomed to this kind of mistreatment. Bahari’s torturer Rosewater (Kim Bodnia), who regularly sprays himself with the titular scent, is determined to get some sort of confession out of Bahari, a man who doesn’t really have anything to confess. Using the limited tools at his disposal, including threats regarding long-suffering Moloojoon and Bahari’s pregnant wife Paola (Claire Foy) in London, Rosewater is as much under the gun as Bahari. Bahari sees the humor in the senselessness of some of the torture and interrogation tactics, and thankfully, so do we. With Rosewater, Stewart has found a way to make a political statement in line with his style of social commentary.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw is a long way from her careerdefining performance in Belle, playing the vaguely Rihannaesque hip-hop diva Noni, in Gina Prince-Bythewood’s Beyond The Lights (Relativity). Beginning at a 1998 South London talent competition where a young Noni wows the audience with an a cappella version of a Nina Simone song, only to disappoint her driven, single, stage mother Macy (Minnie Driver) with a first runner-up trophy, Beyond The Lights flashes to present day where Noni is a big winner at the Billboard Music Awards. But all is not beaming in Noni’s world, leading her to attempt suicide on a hotel balcony. When she is saved by LAPD officer Kaz (the sizzling, and often shirtless, Nate Parker), Noni wants to make the most of her second chance. On the surface, Noni and Kaz are share with us on guymag.net

complete opposites, given their chosen vocations. But Kaz is also being pushed by a parent – his police captain father David – into politics, a career that has its own kind of spotlight. As you might expect, this leads to all kinds of drama for the young lovers. Far more sophisticated than any Tyler Perry production, the rom-dram Beyond The Lights, marks the return of Love and Basketball’s Prince-Bythewood as (original) screenwriter and director. Flashier than its hoops-themed predecessor, Beyond The Lights glows due to the talents and chemistry of lead actors Mbata-Raw and Parker, as well as PrinceBythewood’s direction.

In Elsa and Fred, Oscar-winners Shirley MacLaine (Terms of Endearment) and Christopher Plummer (Beginners) looked like they were having a genuinely good time while making Michael Radford’s Americanized version of the 2005 Spanish film Elsa y Fred. Good for them! The truth is that both accomplished performers deserve to be in better movies than this one. Recently widowed grumpy old man Fred (Plummer) is moved into a new apartment in New Orleans by his controlling daughter Lydia (Marcia Gay Harden) and sniveling son-in-law Jack (Chris Noth). He’s not especially nice to anyone, including caregiver Laverne (Erika Alexander) or doctor friend John (George Segal), although he reserves some kindness for grandson Michael (Jared Gilman). Elsa (MacLaine), who has either an overactive imagination or is a pathological liar (depending on your point of view), lives across the hall from Fred. She is looked after by son Raymond (Scott Bakula) and taken advantage of by son Alec (Rog Rogers). Elsa, who claims to be a widow, as well as the subject of a Picasso painting, is all sunshine and lollipops, in spite of serious health issues. As you might have guessed, Elsa and Fred have a positive effect on each other, eventually becoming an item. They have a series of (mis) adventures, leading to a trip to Rome where Elsa gets to live out a Felliniesque fantasy. Nowhere near as charming or refined as the current spate of films aimed at mature audiences (see The 100 Foot Journey or The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel), Elsa and Fred has more in common with a downer such as My Old Lady, and that makes it a disappointment.

TRAVEL

HI Again: Maui Wowie! Hawaii’s second largest island is tops with GLBT travelers BY RICK KARLIN

In our last column we explored Oahu, Hawaii. This week, we take a look at Hawaii’s secondlargest island, Maui. Its breathtaking scenery and laid-back vibe have made it a popular romantic gay getaway spot, with plenty of gay friendly resorts from which to choose. The island is also a premier whale-watching destination. You can hike across a dormant volcano in Haleakala National Park. Surfing, scuba diving, snorkeling, wind-surfing and parasailing are all readily accessible as well. Warm, sunny days are commonplace and it’s almost always 80ish degrees. Locals say, “Maui no ka oi” – “Maui is the best!” Hawaii might also be called the birthplace of same-sex marriage. In 1991, the Supreme Court of Hawaii found the state’s refusal to grant same-sex couples marriage licenses discriminatory. That decision remained tangled up in the courts, then got negated by DOMA and was finally overturned last year, making Hawaii the number one spot for destination weddings. The open-minded attitude that made for the 1991 decision has long made Hawaii a favorite vacation spot for the GLBT community, whether single or married. Maui’s GLBT community tends to be more settled and couples-oriented, and there aren’t many bars or clubs specifically aimed at the GLBT community. Many of the events, such as the monthly Rainbow Dine-Out Group are organized by Maui Pride (www. mauipride.org). Some of the LGBT community socializes near the local beaches, south of Wailea, in Makena State Beach; there is a nude beach that is popular with gay locals and tourists called Little Beach.

Dine

Stay

Maui Sunseeker (551 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 808-879-1261), with 26 rooms, is the largest GLBT accommodation in Hawaii. Although it caters mostly to gay men, it welcomes guests of all genders and orientations. It just underwent a multimilliondollar renovation and expansion and the adults-only, eco-conscious boutique resort looks better than ever. Rooms feature California king beds, high-end linens, and free satellite TV and Wi-Fi. For those traveling as a group, there’s a three-bedroom penthouse with a private deck overlooking a pool. Drinks and barbecues are served poolside and staff will help book all kinds of activities around Maui. www.mauisunseeker.com Pineapple Inn (3170 Akala Dr., Kihei, 808-298-4403) is in a residential neighborhood, but once you walk into the lush grounds you’ll feel like you’ve entered your own private oasis. The Inn features four private guest rooms, each containing its own private entrance, bathroom and lanai. The upper rooms have ocean and sunset views, the lower rooms have garden views. There is also a quaint bungalow available. Each room has a refrigerator stocked with breakfast foods. Tucked into the grounds is a lovely pool. www.pineappleinnmaui.com

Kualapu’u Cookhouse (Uwao St. at Hwy. 470, Kualapu’u, 808-567-9655) may not look like much from the outside, but in this unpretentious dining room, or at a picnic table on the patio, you can enjoy big portions of arguably the best food on the island; burgers and loco moco to guava-barbecue kalua pork ribs and spicy-crusted grilled ahi with a cilantro sauce. This local’s favorite is BYOB and cash-only. There’s a small grocery across the street that has a surprisingly good selection of wine, but it’s only open until 6 p.m. so if you’re heading for a later meal, pick up something on the way.

Drink

Ambrosia Martini Lounge (1913 S. Kihei Rd., Kihei, 808-891-1011) is tucked inside an unassuming mini-mall in Kihei. While not GLBT oriented, it is gayfriendly and the closest you’ll find to a gay hangout on Maui. It’s most popular with the GLBT community on Sunday nights, with great happy-hour deals, and light snacks. www.ambrosiamaui.com

Raise a Toast to Water by Tom

bonanTi

It won’t be long before the holidays are upon us. Everywhere people will be partying and drinking—a lot. Whatever your alcoholic drink of choice may be, you can be sure of one thing—drinking to excess can cause all kinds of problems. Furthermore, did you know that there are over 800 calories in one Long Island Iced Tea and about 120 calories in a glass of champagne? No doubt, too many nights of partying during the holidays can leave you with a pounding headache and an expanding waistline. Why not stick with a beverage which is safe, clean and good for you? Raise a toast to good old H20!

FITNESS

Water is the most abundant substance in your body, making up 75% of your total body weight and 90% of your blood volume. Water is essential to every one of your bodily systems—from your heart to your reproductive system. While you can survive for weeks without food, you can survive only a few days or less without water. Water is responsible for a host of important bodily functions. Temperature regulation is controlled by water. If you do not have sufficient amounts of water in your body, cooling cannot take place. Your digestive system operates with the help of water, and your joints are lubricated by this illustrious substance. Water is also responsible for the actions involved in energy production. It is essential for the digestion of food, helping your body to convert food to energy and get rid of waste. Water helps your kidneys flush out toxins. Drinking more water helps your liver metabolize fat. Water can even make you look healthy by actually making your skin look younger. Drinking more water can help you with nagging day to day problems. Bothered by food cravings even though you are eating healthy? Try drinking some water instead of grabbing for the chips or M&M’s. You may be just a little dehydrated. Feeling tired and cranky? Your body may be telling you that you need to drink water. Troubled by constipation? Increase water consumption and you will become as regular as the daily mail. As a fitness enthusiast you need to drink at least 8-12 8 oz glasses of water a day. It is recommended by The International Sports Sciences Association that you consume plenty of water daily, especially 20 minutes before working out and following high carbohydrate meals. Don’t wait until you are thirsty before drinking water. By the time your body reaches that point, you’re already dehydrated. Here are some tips on how to uptake. Have a tall glass of water when you get up each day. Try to drink 4 oz of pure water every hour throughout the day. Prepare for exercise by hydrating with water before you begin your work out. Sip water while exercising to replace what is lost as you perspire in order to keep up your energy level. I always prefer water as opposed to other sports drink that are heavy in sugar and corn syrup. You can, however, add a small amount of juice to flavor it up if you get bored. Finally, make sure your water is pure. Bottled water can be a little expensive. Today, there are a number of water purification systems available for home and public use. Charcoal is often used as a purifying agent in water and a simple filter can be installed on any kitchen faucet.
