Interview With Alexis Arquette
May 16, 2007 – 4:13 pmShe’s very fierce, I think, in this Newsweek interview
There’s no sound-bite compact enough to cover this subject. I wish it could be boxed up and passed out in pretty packages, but it can’t be. It’s not just that it’s a multilayered subject, but it’s also different for every person like me. It’s hard because I’m using my fame, and exploiting it, but in a positive way to do something beneficial as opposed to catastrophic—which is what we’re constantly doing to ourselves as a group. I’ll say it a million times—my documentary is a vain pursuit, and I can see why a lot of people could say gays are narcissistic, but it is just as important. Until all of us can feel we can walk down the street without ridicule, none of us really will ever be safe from Hitler’s Gestapo.
My favorite comment:
There are a lot of people who are attracted to people like myself because they like boobs and a penis, and let’s just be honest about that. They like she-males.

I agree - very fierce. Her interview totally helped to balance out some of the problematic/inadequate parts of the other articles in the Newsweek “gender” issue.

Reminds me of my favorite deck of cards collected while on travels through Amsterdam - beautiful girls with big bio-cocks. Beauty can often be found in such juxtapositions.

Alexis also kicked ass when she was on the “Surreal Life” - my partner and I watched it solely to see how she would interact with everyone else, and particularly to see how she would deal with red-meat California Republicans.
Weirdly enough, it seemed like the former Playmate on the cast was the one who “got” her best…
