They need to read the book. Reading it sort of made me realize why I get deeply annoyed with QT philosophy where gender is just some sort of game or personality type. This person literally couldn't live as a woman. And it wasn't because of gender stereotypes or anything(most of his friends where actually women even), he just really saw himself as a man and didn't understand why. It was a good book, but really depressing.

Thanks for sharing! That books sounds like a difficult read (even the film was really difficult to watch). I don’t like the way QT is changing things either. Being trans (or more accurately, a transsexual) used to really be about people who couldn’t exist any other way (even if it was mental illness, we didn’t have anything else we could do). Brandon clearly seemed like one of those to me.

It was a difficult read; but I am glad I read it.
