I‘ve only listened to an hour or so of this one, but the constant misgendering is annoying me already. I hope this changes as Brandon‘s life story unfolds. This probably wouldn‘t have been a well known issue at the time, however 2021 says it hasn‘t aged too well in this respect.

SkeletonKey Oof, the title alone makes me shudder. 3y
Connster @SkeletonKey I agree. Other than the gender issue, it‘s a decent enough read. However the ‘she‘ clangs every time I hear it said. 3y

The 1999 movie #BoysDontCry was the first mainstream film to discuss violence against transgender people. Based on the '93 Brandon Teena murder, & released a year after the murder of Matthew Shepard, it progressed the national consciousness about the undeniable reality of hate crimes. Hilary Swank & Chloë Sevigny both gave masterful performances & made their characters feel relatable #AnglophileApril
