It was very moving, and exposed very directly the prejudices which exist, particularly in certain areas of society.<br /><br />Though I can not recommend the film ‘Myra Breckenridge’ (By Gore Vidal, who incidentally was in the documentary), I can recommend the book, a text which firmly makes one reconsider the role and situation of sex, gender, and how society sees and treats each of those.<br /><br />When it comes to how sexuality has been portrayed I do find it fascinating that the film industry created ‘the sissie’, an imaginary figure who has dominated the public’s view of homosexuality, and continues so to do for well over half a century.NathanPBridlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530768693798967926noreply@blogger.com
