How did a stigmatized identity become so central to US & European articulations of self? & how have people responded to the new definitions & understanding of sex & the gendered body? In Trans Jack Halberstam explores these recent shifts in the meaning of the gendered body & representation & explores the possibilities of a nongendered gender-optional or gender-queer future ...

Felicity Huffman leaves the glamour of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES behind & makes a surprising diversion with this offbeat film Playing an uptight male-to-female transsexual named Sabrina Bree Osbourne (nee Stanley) Huffman gives a remarkable performance Readying herself for the final snip that will make her womanly transformation complete Bree's life takes a sudden turn when she receives a phone call from New York Her son Toby (Kevin Zegers) has been jailed & Bree needs to post bail for him The only problem is Bree didn't know she had a son but her therapist refuses to give her written permission to have the final part of her sex-change operation if she doesn't go so Bree heads east from her California home Thinking Bree is a Christian missionary gay hustler Toby informs her of his intention to becom a porn star on the west coast which brings out plenty of motherly instincts in the worried cross-gender father So the two take a road trip back west with Bree flailing in her attempts to tell Toby the truths about who she is & what she once was Writerdirector Duncan Tucker gets the balance between comedy & drama just right as he gently squeezes Bree's various revelations to Toby onto the screen But it's Huffman who really shines with her vocal inflections makeup & acting skills perfectly combining to give a convincing performance as the ultra-conservative Bree Tucker doesn't focus too much on Bree's gender-hopping instead crafting an emotional portrait of a highly dysfunctional family while constantly dragging his audience back from the brink by weaving a killer laugh-out-loud line into the plot A fine supporting cast in particular Fionnula Flanagan (THE OTHERS) as Bree's hilariously overbearing mother helps to deflect from the film's low-budget origins with pithy dialogue & energetic performances combining to make TRANSAMERICA a wonderfully satisfying treat ...
