Queer films in context

Someone on Twitter linked to this article: How I broke, and botched, the Brandon Teena story by Donna Minkowitz. It's about the real life rape and murder of a trans man depicted in the film Boys don't cry.

( transphobia and violence and some identity noodling )

More on this hopefully soon, I have loads and loads of thoughts bouncing off that article and other stuff I've seen or watched recently.
