Transamerica - a review from a Crossdresser's point of view

I finally got to watch Transamerica last night. I have to say, Felicity Huffman did an excellent job, she had me convinced... Of course Bree isn't "a perfectly adjusted transsexual woman" as the movie is advertised. Bree is anything but, she should not even be at the SRS stage at this point in her life, as is obvious by seeing how she handles herself. She is way too nervous and unsure of herself to become a woman yet. This movie really addresses several major issues that all Transgendered people face, and I have experienced some of these same situations myself in my evolution (not transformation, there is a difference). I was very skeptical of the whole thing before I watched this movie. What convinced em that it might be a good movie was in the opening scene, Bree is doing her thing, getting ready for bed. She is wearing a silky nightie and looks in the mirror, sees the telltale bulge, lifts the nightie, sticks her hand down her panties and makes an adjustment. I can't count the number of times when I have done just that! When they show her getting dressed, slipping the breast enhancers in, etc it is completely believable. At one point, when she is read by a 6 year old, I was impressed by the scene, We all have been (or will be) in that situation at one point or another. How you react will definitely determine what the outcome is. Bree handled it wrong, she should have responded "I am a woman". Seeing how the parents interact with Bree is definitely a classic reaction. I hope that my parents take to Heather much better than Bree's parents do, but I can definitely see some of my own parents in Bree's. Bree's mom exclaiming "How could you do this to me" is definitely how many will feel when finding out and Bree's response "I'm not doing anything to you mother" is a great reply. If you have not seen this movie, I suggest doing so.
