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

@bryanibekwe first of all ur an idiot and stop claling TRANNIES coz no one here called u nigger......be respectfull.....how sure are u they dont know gwen is a ts....they have fooled around with gwen BEFORE thast what they stated.....they just exploded coz they felt löike they are outed and imbarrased when the jealous slu told them about gwen which they already knew...and play or act like they have no idea....GET UR FACTS RIGHT DOUCHEBAG IGNORANT

[bryanibekwe]

@SataraYamori i have read the accounts on this case. it is on wikipedia and google has several other links. i checked about 15 of them. i have also seen the movie. the movie is watered down though. i agree that they should not have killed her. but she was no angel. she did wrong. she knew no heterosexual male will go out with her if they knew the truth about her (for example her ex left her after learning the truth). so she deceived those men the same way she deceived her ex.

[bryanibekwe]

@hitomi2232 in your fights, tell them to come out clean and be true to themselves and to tell their sex partners the truth about themselves. there are many trannies out their and no one is hurting them cos they told the truth about themselves. but when u deceive people and they find out, u cant predict how they will react and the reaction may be violent as in this case. u know not everyone is mentally balanced to handle such news. am not saying it was ok to kill gwen, but ....

[bryanibekwe]

@JessicaKathlynn this was no hate crime. gwen deceived men into thinking she was female. she should have told them from the onset that she was actually a male in female clothing. yet she lied to them by claiming she was having her period. those guy freaked out and got angry when they learnt the truth and decided to teach her a lesson. unfortunately, they took it too far. it was panic. am not gay or transgender so i will be so mad if i was tricked the way Glen tricked those men

[bryanibekwe]

maybe if trannies will be more honest about their sexual orientation, then people they are being intimate with wont freak out so much. a tranny should tell his/her would-be partner the truth about himself/herself. let the person know what he/she is dealing with. some people wont mind and still go on with the relationship. some will, but then life goes on. u keep trying until u find a partner that accepts you the way you are. i admit, Gwen's killers went to far it is because of her deception

[hitomi2232]

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

[SataraYamori]

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.
