On the eve of the world premiere of Ticked-Off Trannies With Knives at the Tribeca Film Festival, director Israel Luna announced Thursday that he would blur out some letters in the controversial film's title treatment and many marketing materials effectively immediately, a decision reached with input from Academy Award-winning Milk screenwriter, Dustin Lance Black.

Luna and Black discussed the change in a call with The Advocate.

Somehow that is a none effective change.

I'm still just not offended by ->-bleeped-<- or trannies, both of which are pretty regularly used in routine conversation in my local trans community. But it's an interesting change to come out of such discussions.

I haven't seen it so I don't feel as if I can comment on the film itself, but I can comment on what other people are saying since I've read reactions. I've got a lean towards Kate Bornstein's view of the whole situation.
