In the world of gay film and television (GTM), when it comes to transgender people, most of them are male-to-female, and very few female-to-male.

The last gay movie that turned a woman into a man dates back to 1998's "Boy Don't Cry": the one that was selected by "Entertainment Weekly" as one of the top ten in the 1990s and sent the heroine to the Oscars In the gay movie of the throne, the heroine hopes to like women after transgender; fourteen years later, another female-to-male GTM was released, and the female (male) protagonist in the film likes men after transgender.

In the two films, the two protagonists like objects of different genders after changing their genders, and the endings are even more different: Brandon (boys don't cry) is brutally killed by several straight male buddies, while Lukas (double-sided Romeo) ) can finally get married with the person you like.

If the times are changing and people's thinking is changing, then the classics will remain unchanged; or "Double-sided Romeo" will not become a classic and immortal, but it records the mental journey of transgender people and cannot be erased and obliterated, because it What is recorded is not simply a storyline, but more of a display of human dignity.


Digression:

Seeing that many people are puzzled about the 2007 "Entertainment Weekly" list of the top ten gay movies, why is "Philadelphia Story" (1993) not on the list? Tom Hanks also won the Oscar for this film and was affirmed by Hollywood film critics?

This is because: "The Philadelphia Story" is a "commercial film" and the top 10 gay films selected are "art films," so no matter how good "The Philadelphia Story" is, it doesn't make the list.
