IN HEAT lampoons sexual desire, sexual orientation and gender self-identification.
Doris, a lesbian in her 50s, is alarmed to discover that lesbianism is being overshadowed by female-to-male transsexuals and a new Genderqueer culture.
Since Transmen are getting all the girls and lesbians are passé, Doris has pioneered a Self-Identified Lesbian Community Center, which is a cultural hospice for the last of the lesbians who will all be dying off in the next 30 years.
