I remember the movie.  Roberta gave me hope. Even though John Lithgow is not trans. To see a character on the screen who was never 'passable" helped me immensely.

The World According to Garp - Shooting Down Pictures video essay

I thought this was very interesting.

Yes, thanks for posting. I loved Garp (except the last 3 minutes) and I liked Lithgow's performance way better than Felicity Huffman in TransAmerica, who, despite all her efforts, couldn't succeed in convincing me she had ever been male-bodied. I know why they did that - to underscore that her character WAS a woman, not a man pretending, but it just couldn't bring me there.
Have you read my short story The Eve of Triumph?
