I watched this last night, and found the entire film/documentary to be very fascinating, fun, enjoyable, exciting, Revealing, and Inspiring!
I was not sure what to expect, because I am accustomed to seeing professional shows at local clubs. However the film truly represents a diverse range of Transgendered women vying for recognition of their beauty. Aside from the contest and the documentary style interviews with contenders for the crown, honest discussions about lifestyle choices, gender identity, and family relationships are explored. For anyone who lives a bit outside the "norm" of societal standards, or for those who consider their lifestyle to be "Alternative" in some fashion this DVD is a great resource for confirmation, inspiration, and background information about *why* people choose to live outside the bounds of strictly dictated rules and regs about who we are supposed to be.
Personally, I identified with many of the individual women interviewed in the film, and I found myself smiling throughout much of the film. Some stories also contain obstacles and societal situations which are quite serious, but overall the film is fun, uplifting, and exciting.
One transgendered woman was genuinely upset that others were acting overly naughty, exposing themselves without cause, and generally acting trampy. Her sincerity flows from the screen. A few acted like drag queens, but many were quite serious and sincere. Most of the women are ... Read More

I was fortunate to see "Trantasia" in a packed theatre as part of Los Angeles' long running OUTFEST. When the lights came up at the end of the screening I remember saying: "This is 'Paris Is Burning' for a new generation!" Besides the obvious connection between the two documentaries, I believe they both successfully accomplish a similar goal: to educate the viewer about a particular sub-culture with humor, humanity, and intelligence. Besides laughing along with the participants thru the process of a Beauty Pageant, there are some remarkable backstory segments as some of the girls travel back home to visit with their families...but the moment when one of the beauty queen contestants said some homophobic comments took my breath away in it's utter rawness (and contradiction to the open-mindedness of a Transgendered Beauty Pageant!) Our audience was abuzz for almost a minute after his/her remark.
This film is outstanding and highly recommended! And for those of you out there (and you know who you are) who love to quote awesome lines of movie dialogue...get ready to fill your mind with more quotables than "Mommie Dearest!'

Trantasia, what a great film/Documentary. Really opened my eyes to a different world. Family love with no apologies. A heartwarming film. Funny and sad. I recommend highly.

Yes, it's inspiring. But Trantasia is surprising, cheeky and very, very funny.
Watch the girls hit the strip in Vegas and reduce grown men to excitement, bewilderment and just plain confusion.
It's a window into a very provocative and fascinating world. If you ever wondered why.....this movie has all the answers.
