It is true humans do get brain washed into what they think is attractive. I like how Dustin makes it clear how many women that he would have been pleased to known if he had just been able to see in a different way.

I'm glad somebody else thinks so. Lots of good stuff there.
I just stumbled across this interview earlier today and I found it deeply moving. I hope it helps somebody to know that there's good people like this out there. :)

I also loved what John Lithgow had to say about playing a transwoman in The World According to Garp. Smart guy, good people.
