From the Andy Warhol/Paul Morrissey films of the late 1960s along with John Waters early work forward to "Ticked off ->-bleeped-<-'s with Knives" the vast majority of films featuring TS or TG folks have totally sucked. Across the board underground and mainstream alike the vast majority are poorly done and exploitative.
Occasionally one finds an exception such as "The Crying Game" that actually casts a person who is if not TS or TG sat least someone close enough so as to have a real life association with the world of TS/TG people.
I haven't seen "TOTWK", I'm not likely to either simply because I don't see the point of wasting my money on it. But other than grousing a bit about its exploitative nature I'm probably not going to pour a lot of energy in to picketing it or anything.
Life is too short and too filled with far more important issues that need addressing than crappy films.
