Andrea, Gail, and I saw a happy film yesterday, Boys Don't Cry. Okay, it was actually pretty damn depressing. This girl, Teena Brandon lived in Nebraska (well known for open minded folk and diversity) and knew she should be a boy. So she dressed like one, acted like one, and got more babes than men who were born as men.
Time after time, her cover is blown and there always seems to be an older brother waiting to kick her ass for sleeping with his sister. Eventually she gets raped and killed for her crime, being born with the wrong body.
Sad stuff.
