This weekend I presented a workshop at Gender Odyssey titled "Sexual Empowerment Through Art and Smut." I discussed the role of sexuality in trans politics and the ways medical institutions' proscriptions around sexuality have limited our ability to discuss everything from building healthy sexual relationships to basic sex ed. I shared some video clips from my previous work and this upcoming project and the response was humbling.

Several people came up to me after the workshop, or later in the conference, to tell me how helpful it was to hear that message. Paraphrased from imperfect memory, they said things like, "You gave me permission to like and appreciate my body." "Seeing your films made me realize there were options for me to be sexual that might work for me." "Your films made a huge impact on me and on my community." "We haven't done something like this before and are hesitant, but this is such an important project my girlfriend and I are considering applying to be a part of it."

That is why I care about this project.

Today was the most successful day of the entire campaign so far. We had more new backers than any other day of the campaign so far and we raised $2,377 -- again, more than any other day of the campaign. As we enter the last 24 hours before the kickstarter deadline, we are just $3,405 away from our $15,000 goal to produce a third volume of the series. We are so close.

Posting to social media and community forums is important and useful. Think of facebook groups you are a part of, trans forums, sex positive blogs, and more. Additionally, with time this short, one of the most effective things you can do is contact someone directly and ask them to consider helping the project. Tell them why it is you care about this project.
