Movie Reviews of TransGeneration
Movie Review: Good film that needs a stronger conceptual framework
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an interesting documentary about several college-age transsexuals. Unfortunately, it lacks a conceptual framework. The film does not delve into the underlying sexual motivations of the main characters, i.e. are Gabbie and Raci autogynephilic or homosexual transsexuals? What are their motivations for pursuing sex reassignment procedures? Autogynephilia has been defined as a weird, autosexual exhibitionistic fetish in which an otherwise unremarkably masculine heterosexual male is attracted to the fantasy of being a sexually seductive woman. Homosexual transsexuals are feminine gay men who undergo sex reassignment to be more attractive to straight men.
Based on this film, I would urge Gabbie and Raci, to reconsider the irrevocable decision to have irreversible transsexual surgery. It is irreversible, I repeat, it cannot be reversed! I wonder if they should pursue their sexual proclivities without resorting to surgery and spend the money on graduate school or a downpayment on a house. The film does not explore this non-sexual option.
