Getting a lot of negative feed back luna? You have not seen anything yet. Transgender people refuse accept your hate movie luna. What is it you do not under stand. We are sick of being marginalized and victimized by gays. We are NOT appreciative of any CHEAP HATE inspiring movie, especially from you now that you have exposed your true nature.

WEARE NOT HERE TO BE OBJECTIFIED BY ANYONE. SO NO WE ARE NOT APPREACTIVE OF YOUR KINDNESS IN NOT CHOOSING A MORE EXPLICITLY HATEFULL TERM.

Coming off as dramaqueens they are...

I read a bunch of the posts on this year-old blog as well as the more recent discussion on Queerty, and watched the trailer. It's clear to me that some trans people find this very offensive, but also that the writer/director/editor, Israel Luna, did not mean this as a negative portrayal of trans people, or as a portrayal that was meant to be taken at all seriously. Sure, it reinforces some trans stereotypes - defining trans people as female and ignoring FtMs and other gender-variant folks, portraying trans women as shallow and drag-queeny - but it's meant as trashy camp, and should be taken as such. To say that it trivializes violence against trans people misses the point; it's the nature of camp and B-movies to be outrageously trivial.

Yeah, lots of drama queening over this. -shrug-

All this controversy will benefit ticket sales.  is that good or bad?  who knows? the only way to tell is to watch the movie.. makes for box office payback
