[edit] Trivia

Should we say this was a Filliam H. Muffman production?  :) Humor aside, this was a great film -- go see it! —  Stevie is the man!  ^{Talk | Work} 15:01, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs

Shall we have a goofs section? I have seen that section in other film articles such as Reality Bites. If so, I've just spotted one. When Toby hits on Bree, he takes the robe off. Then, she asks him to cover and he covers his legs with the robe but without tying it. Next scene, he is running off the room with the robe tyed propperly but off his arms, topless.

[edit] Fixed some gender pronouns

Transexual men are properly referred to as 'he' before a sex change operation, and as 'she' afterward. I edited the article to reflect proper usage. 172.132.198.68 03:23, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

No, they aren't. In fact, most transpeople find that offensive. Also, you're referring to transwomen in your example. 12.135.58.53 06:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)scharles

Granted this is an old topic, scharles is correct. Transwoman= MTF Transman= FTM.
They are referred to as their correct(ed) gender and sex before and after any surgery options they may undergo. Also, this stands when no surgery is ever performed. --208.51.50.157 (talk) 07:24, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Transsexual/Transgender

Should we use Transsexual (an often offensive term) or Transgender. I feel transgender is less offensive than transsexual (I have around 70 intersexed, transgendered, and two-spirited friends... none of them identify as transsexual.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Totallycharged (talk • contribs) 05:28, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I would agree, Transgender would be better, even though, technically speaking, transexual (from a "difference between sex and gender" standpoint)would be more accurate. The semantics surrounding sex and Gender are very touchy, and bleed over somtimes, but Transgender is the more commonly used term in the community. 208.51.50.157 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 07:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
