Although Hedwig assumes the gender of a female, it's incorrect to
refer to her as transgendered. Anatomically, she is neither sex. A
repeating theme of the play is that, like the wall that divides
Berlin, she occupies a liminal world, an "in-between world." Under the
spell of the Platonic myth that love is a result of finding one's
"missing half," thus ending the sense of being caught in the liminal,
Hedwig's unwanted task is to come to a less idealized notion of love
and being.

You do realize that in associating the Democratic presidential candidate with a gender-non-conformist, this is an attempt to tarnish Obamas' reputation in the heartland, the United States of JesusLand .. ??

Hardly, it's the political, cum artsy, essay of a PhD in Depth Psychology. Depth is good, perhaps Suporn was his 1st reader? But the in-between is all an attempt to bolster the final sentence that would easily have stood alone. Of course, a sentence isn't an essay, it's an epigram.
