Do feminine-presenting lesbians experience invisibility within the queer community?
This question is the subject of a new documentary from advocate and and filmmaker Jodi Savitz called “Girl on Girl.” The film aims to explore the emotional consequences surrounding the invisibility of feminine lesbians within the spectrum of cultural consciousness. “Girl on Girl” is currently engaged in an Indiegogo campaign in order to fund the project.

What do you hope viewers take away from this film about the realities of life for queer women?
I hope that viewers are able to see that all LGBTQ people, regardless of gender presentation, experience highly emotional moments due to their sexual minority status, and that passing as straight does not automatically translate to having an “easier” experience of navigating the world as a queer person. The film is meant to highlight the experiences of one specific subgroup of the LGBTQ population in order to illustrate that universal empathy is the key to affecting change and progress.
