No, he wasn't a woman. He had the brain of a man, therefore he was a man.

great video and song, but HE was a boy, it wasn't just "if i were".

5 stars **

That is what I am saying but others on the site seemed to be very wrapped up in him being a girl and this girl being a lesbian. Transgenders are not your average gay or lesbian. They have brains that tell them that they are one sex and a body that tells them that they are another sex. It is a type of birth defect. I am not saying it is a bad thing by any stretch, what I am saying that it is something that happens in the womb. Not something that can be controled. The surgeries mean little.

@Tehla82 its all depend how people or a person showing thier personality, i think person to person have respect to each other even you are a woman man gay or lesbian, we are all human being who need respect love,

Ok let me shed some light! I am bi-sexual and my girlfriend is what you would call a 'butch' or a 'dyke.' She dresses like a boy and acts like a boy but no way in hell would she want to be a boy. Male genitelia makes her sick!

With that said Transgender is not just a lesbian or gay individual, I have done my research thank you very much! It is when your brain is that of one sex and your body is that of the other. There are transgender children not old enough to be gay! Do your research!

@MegaRoadwolf Lana didn't want to know; nor should she have had to. People should be permitted to love other people regardless of gender. Brandon identifed as a man. Therefore, in my opinion (and in the opinion of all decent, civilized people) he should have been regarded as a man.

[MegaRoadwolf]

Ok I agree that HER, cause she was a she, her death was tragic and uncalled for. How in the hell could this chick not see that Brandon Teena was a woman. Short hair couldn't have been the selling point. The skin & no adams apple should have at the very least been a tipoff.

I like the song choice. "If I were" reminds me of all my wishing to be one of the guys, and speaks well to Brandon's struggles.

RIP BRandon, you will always be a man to us. I'm a girl and he was a very cute boy. Would have wanted to date him. No one deserves to die like that except for ignorant people like Nissen and Lotter.

[ITHEREONETHATHASNT]

Why does it matter whether someone wants to live as a boy or a girl. If they are old enough, pay their taxes and there fair share in society people need to FUCK OFF! Insecure people look for faults in others and try to become clique and tell others how to live. They are the ones with the problem we should be calling them out not these innocent souls. Dont support the death penalty but am really glad lotter and nissen are in prison FOREVER!

Stykke, you are right. gender minorities have found reasons for their sexuality and innate sexual acts in their brain. recent studies say that brain patterns and many things differ in them from heterosexual ppl. Like, Some F to M transgenders have bigger hypothalamus than other females. the fools who are illiterate about it and don't want to admit the facts of the nature , charge it as' unnatural' .
