"Don't call her a 'he'," the lady named Noel Burton, scriptwriter of a foreign-produced indie titled Hello Forever, reminded me before I interviewed Isis King. "She will get upset."

So it's a "she" and a "her," all right since you couldn't and shouldn't address her any other way.

"I am a woman and I've always felt like one since I was a kid because I was born a woman trapped in a man's body," confirmed Isis, a ->-bleeped-<-/transsexual who is playing a woman forced into prostitution in the indie that has been shooting here for three weeks now. "Three years ago," said Isis, "I decided to undergo a sex-change operation and I've never been happier."
