That's the question facing LGBT activists with a new film scheduled to show at Tribeca Film Festival. The saying goes that you can't judge something by its cover, but in this case, the title of the movie and the movie's poster certainly says a lot: Ticked-Off Trannies with Knives.
Offensive terminology? Yup. As Autumn Sandeen writes over at Pam's House Blend, the word "->-bleeped-<-" is pretty darn offensive -- equally as much as words like "->-bleeped-<-got" or "sodomite."
