"Call Me Troy and transparent, two films recently released on DVD and
available from Frameline (www.frameline.org, 415-703-8650), cast light
on different aspects of the American experience. Both challenge the
easy compartmentalization of people into sexual or gender categories.
Troy Perry is a bear and leatherman who was married and fathered two
children before embracing his gay identity, while the 19 subjects
interviewed in transparent are all female-to-male (FTM) transgendered
individuals who gave birth as women but are now living, and in most
cases raising children, as men."
