Description:

Review and critique of a private screening of a film based on the life of Christine Jorgensen, who underwent three operations over the course of her transition. Kohler, the author of this piece, criticizes the film for glossing over major aspects of Miss Jorgensen's transition and misrepresenting the process of transition surgery as a whole. Nevertheless, Kohler praises the film for humanizing and de-stigmatizing transexualism in the wider cisgender public eye.
