Masculinity Video Diary

Hey Folks! So I did a performance piece today that commented on the roots of masculinity and explored the ideas of social constructed masculinity, the masculine in opposition to the feminine, and the masculine as the biological, testosterone-induced behavior. The climax of the piece involved getting a 50mg shot in my butt muscle of Testosterone. It's the testosterone FTM transsexuals take to grow a bit more hair and muscles and to change their voice. I will be keeping a video diary over the course of days it takes for this testosterone to metabolize in order to pinpoint the changes. By doing this, I'll be able to differentiate between what is actually me, Kris, and what is the testosterone-controlled male behavior that I am somewhat of a slave to. This is entry #1, before any effects have shown up. Enjoy!
