transamerica is trans gender
1 January 2006
I guess it's OK to be trans gender nowadays, at least this latest movie from Hollywood paints a very sympathetic portrait of a man changing his sex to female. And by the end of the movie he gets the operation that removes his "angry inch" ( but actually much larger than that, when in one scene he exposes him self while urinating). And of course, Kevin Zegers, who is one hot little number that looks great in tighty-whiteys, and also can act! The movie becomes a bit formulastic when we visit the home of the parents of the soon to be female, but most of the time plays like it is realilty. Zegers plays a teenage hustler who is pretty naive about sex if he can't figure out the man he is traveling across the country with is not a woman. The sundance channel series on trans gender people in their early twenties gives a startling hard reality view of what it means to be sexually confused. This movie is more of a fantasy about changing your biological sex, but it is entertaining, has its funny and sad moments, and if you are curious about "trans gender" identity, this flick is also educational.
