Trained in the Ways of Men - Trailer

"Please don't. I have a family..." were her last words. Powerful documentary Trained in the Ways of Men explores the controversial events surrounding the violent murder of Gwen Araujo in Newark, California—a murder that shocked the country when it made national headlines.

From CNN to The New York Times, the case attracted famous attorneys, spawned a made-for-TV movie, compelled almost 1000 people to attend Gwen Araujo's memorial service and thousands more to march in the streets demanding justice. Trained in the Ways of Men is an exploration of the provocative complexities of gender identity; what does it mean to be a man or a woman?

Leaving no stone unturned, Director Shelly Prevost scrupulously examines the murder trial and provides numerous interviews with Gwen Araujo's mother Sylvia and the attorneys involved in the case. Trained in the Ways of Men ultimately encourages us to turn the camera on ourselves and unearth our own buried prejudices and fears.

@gallopinto88 what makes you think that you would be tricked into a homosexual act? Have you ever thought that a gay guy may find you repulsive? I really don't understand what's wrong with these supposedly heterosexual guys. They think that just because they are heterosexual, a gay guy or a tranny will hit on them. Bullshit! Heterosexual doesn't equal attractive. You might be as heterosexual as you want, but you can also be an ugly, small dick motherfucker!

I completely agree and stand beside the comments of patriot907 and itsdylenphelps cause both of them are correct. GWEN DID NOT try to trick anyone and she was being the person that she saw herself as on the inside. Yes she was born a male but had the soul and the mind of a woman just like I do and thats why I'm a Transgender female and dame proud of the woman that I am and going to be....Dont bother trying to ague with those that understand us cause you'll do nothing but loose so dont even try

goosebumps and i still cry...gwenaraujo is the main reason why im still fighting for rights against violence.....of us transsexuals......i will fight till these people get punished....if they took a life they should pay with a life....and no wer not pretending we are woman.-....we are not deceiving u....we are woman...what u see is a woman......and we should be a woman..

I Just watched this film and I feel for Gwen's family what they went thru but Gwen wasn't a little angel. What Gwen did was and should be considered sexual assault. those men where raped by a transgender person who should have made his/her gender more clear b4 engaging in such acts with heterosexual males. They were coerced into a sexual situation they wouldn't have wanted to engage in i.e. Rape, sexual assault. Their response, although not totally agreeable, was a response to the humiliation t

Dude, this is a powerful movie, if you feel that the girl deserved to die or whatever you have serious mental problems and you need help! Just reading these comments tells me that you guys need to see this fucking movie. Rent it, pirate it, whatever the heck you do, just watch it. If you still feel she deserved to die after that, you're seriously fucked up and you need to know that! I refuse to so much as read a reply to this comment, I said what I needed to say. Have a nice day!

@casperxmandy What do mean "Its the same theory for AIDS, NO ONE has to tell you they have an STD.", that's just plain ignorant, if you are aware that you have an STD, especially something as dangerous as AIDS, then you should say something to the person you're about to have sex with. Not only is it immoral not to, it's also illegal, you're basically committing murder by failing to share that kind of information.

[casperxmandy]

Seriously?!?!?! You are all going to blame Gwen for her getting murdered?!?!?! Are you kidding me?!?! It's no ones business. She didn't have to say she's a male, it was HER CHOICE! By saying "Oh she deserves it" Its just sickening. What the hell is wrong with you people?!?! Its the same theory for AIDS, NO ONE has to tell you they have an STD. Everyone who helped in this murder should have a bullet in the back of their heads. Simple.

"It's" the one who fucked up, "it's" what it get's!!!

[luigiK1]

don't wanna start one of these you tube arguments but if she slept with those guys without telling them she was born male then that was a very bad thing to do

[cocoblks]

MY HEART IS BROKEN AND I WISH THE FAMILY THE BEST SHE IS STILL HERE SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL ALWAYS IN MY HEART

[sahure]

murder is bad to pretend folks like to be tricked is a lie and one must be fair on both sides of the issue. you look like a woman it fools you you dont tell me your a man its to fool me if you feel like a woman fine tell the man that you are not a full woman and let him make a choice some people would be killing mad if someone enjoyed sex with them and not tell them they had aids or herpes. !!! so murder is wrong but their anger is understandable cause they were not told both wrong

[newenglandkittys]
