Venus Boys

This movie was about drag kings who don't want to conform with society and want to express their female masculinity. The main thing in this movie that the drama kings say is that you must at all times be ready to identify yourself and you need to adjust to different stereotypes. Fighting, in many cases, is necessary to do so. This one lady Diane really stuck out for me in the movie. She was a crossdressing man and also a loving mother. She explains the fact that when she crossdresses as a man she gets more power, attention, and credability that she could have ever imagined, which goes hand in hand with Tough Guise. The problem with crossdressing as many of them explain in the movie is that you can often forget who you really are. So it is therefore important to have a strong personality and don't let who you dress as become who you are. One girl felt that she was losing her female innerself and therefore dressed up as half man and half woman to express herself.
