There's not really much left to talk about 'cause there's no more us

My sociology professor was in Toronto this week for a conference, so in lieu of a 3 hour class we watched Boys Don't Cry today (starring Hilary Swank as Brandon Teena - or Teena Brandon depending on how you look at it). The movie is based on a true story, obviously, and it was pretty clear how it was going to turn out. I wasn't surprised, but it was still extremely sad. Kind of like when the Titanic goes does in the movie - you know it's going to happen but you're still telling them to look out for the iceberg. The movie tied in well with my human sexuality class. Yesterday we had a male to female post-op transexual come in to talk to the us. I cannot imagine having to go through all of that to feel comfortable in my own skin. I have it so easy and I definitely take it for granted.
