She looked convincing enough, from a distance, but sounded so much like a woman that I never could really suspend disbelief enough. Felt like all the actors were just pretending she was a convincing man. Would anyone have really thought that in real life, if you heard her talk? Not knocking the movie btw, great film.
shareWell, the real Brandon kept his actual female voice as well.

There are some guys who's voices don't drop until later in life. She is passable as a young man, who is a late bloomer.
shareIn the early 90s and especially in the South, people were too naive on the transgender issues. They would be really oblivious to this.
Now if Brandon was living in San Francisco in 2010s, a lot of people would suspect him of being a biological female for sure.
Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

Actually, to get into character Hillary Swank went out to clubs and bars as a man and people called her sir and no one batted an eye. I think the reason you may be unconvinced is because your brain is telling you it's a woman. If you didn't know she was a woman and saw her out on the street you wouldn't think twice about it.
