Okay this movie used to come on ALL the time on starz and i would always friggin catch it in the middle and would never be able to finish it. You know one of THOSE movies that you wanted to see but never did, and than you never get to watch all of it when it finally comes on?? Yeah. But after reading all these posts im getting confused.

My question is....WHAT THE HELL WAS HE??

What i always thought the definition of TRANSGENDERED meant was someone who was born with BOTH male and female parts!!!

But all these posts have people saying that "she" was just a wannabe "he"...So whats the real story? Was Brandon born ALL the way female and just FELT like a guy? Or was this person born with both parts?? Cause that kinda changes most of the arguments posted on here!!

Based on recent rulings in western courts brandon was a rapist.

A recent Uk court sentenced a woman to 8 years in prison for impersonating a man and using a plastic wang to have sex with a woman, said woman claimed she'd been had.

I think the same thing happened in america but the woman was given a much lighter sentence.
