"THE PHANTOM WORLD " (by Katya Bogachevskaya) http://www.lightstalkers.org/galleries/contact_sheet/14328 Being men that feel their-selves in their bodies uncomfortable, they try as much as possible to resemble women copying their step, behavior and dress. At the same time it's impossible to call them women- angular lineaments and hypertrophied manners of women become at the same time tragic and comical farce. Peculiar illusion. I agree that they feel their-selves comfortable and free because they don't see their-selves from apart. And they don't understand that for the people at the least they are funny, most of all they are crazy. They are not men, they are not women, they live somewhere between these 2 worlds - in their phantom world. They don't think about their life and their HIV+ - they just live - with it or without.. For the majority of my friends drag-queens this strangeness (still in the childhood they began to wear mother’s clothes and shoes, secretly trying to use lipstics, Indian ink) remained the thing about which it’s better to keep silent. But among them there are persons that were able to grow from underground drag-amateurs to drag-queens. But even in that case the main area for performances is semienclosed night clubs. Anyway it’s rare situation when some of them has the courage to do Coming out. And many of their relatives and friends don’t guess with what their close friend and near relation is occupied. And in spite of the fact that the time when even in psychiatry transvestism was called “perversion that has to be healed” has gone and modern science treats human weaknesses tolerantly, the attitude toward trans in the russian society is extremely hostile.
