• From the Inside Out: Radical Gender Transformation, FTM and Beyond (2004) -- Finalist 2004 Lambda Literary Award for Transgender/Bisexual Awards
  Born female yet little identified with that gender, these writers illuminate the experiences of those who identify as FTM (female to male), and those whose gender is more fluid (such as genderqueers and thirdgenders). Given the opportunity to explore any aspect of gender identity change, from dating to family issues, these authors have written stories offering heartfelt insight into the dynamics of identity politics and the definition of self. An eloquent tribute to diversity, From the Inside Out features 30 stories written by transgendered authors and provides an amazing introduction for those who want to understand more about transgender and gender-variant people. In addition, these moving narratives are invaluable tools for learning more about queer theory, gender politics, cultural studies, and transgender history. Although all born female, these writers prove that biology doesn't control destiny.

• Gendered Hearts: An Honest Discussion of Sex, Love, Relationships and Marriage from Transgender Writers and Their Partners (In Progress), Morty Diamond, ed.
  "Looking for first person stories from transgender writers as well as those who are partners of or have partnered with someone transgender on the experience of dating, sex, relationships, and finding love.
  
  Gendered Hearts is an anthology celebrating the intricacies of dating, sex, the possibility of love, and finding that special someone while discovering how to break away from gender norms and the rules that surround gender identity.
  
  Topic examples: hilarious or heartbreaking dating stories, transitioning within a relationship, starting families, passing/not passing and how this affects our choices for dating, meeting our partners families, the idea of marriage - legal or otherwise, online dating, anonymous sex, sex and dating before and after surgery and/or hormones, how we negotiate sex, relationships surviving a partners transition. I strive to make this anthology as diverse as possible within age, race, sexuality, and gender identity. This book will also include writers from outside the US.
  
  I encourage writing that goes beyond the topical and gives the reader a three dimensional view on the subject you choose to write about.
  
  The length of your work should be between 2,000 and 3,000 words. Sexually explicit work is ok. Please include a short biography with your work. Please submit your writing as a Word attachment via email to: newtransanthology@gmail.com
  
  The deadline for this book has been extended to August 2007"

Movies

• Trannyfags (2004)
  Trannyfags portrays the wild sexual encounters of four gay transmen with each other and nontransmen in hot one-on-one scenes and group orgies. Being filmed by Morty, a transman himself, there is a natural feeling of exploration of the transmale bodies on screen. The movie was shot in a week in the summer of 2003, and the transmen were given very little direction, allowing for unexpected twists and turns. Morty wanted everyone to feel comfortable and have fun and this came through in their performance. This movie is meant to be watched by all who can appreciate transmen and their gorgeous bodies, women, men, trannys, dykes, fags – everyone!
  
  Trannyfags is ONLY available on DVD. To order a copy please send $35.00 (includes shipping) to: Mortakai Diamond 1083 Broadway Brooklyn, NY 11221

• Papi and Will: A Trans Love Story (Future release)
  Papi and Will is a film about a hot, pervy, loving, polyamorous transgender couple. I felt compelled to shoot a movie about Papi and Will from the many discussions I have had with them about their life together and felt that their story is a rare and special one. On screen Papi and Will share with the viewer everything from their unique perspective on gender identity to how they negotiate multiple partners in their life.The sex scenes are filled with raw, uninhibited exploration and incorporate BDSM, roleplay, and a lot of hot sex!
