A transgender is not the same thing as a transvestite.
FWIW: Ed Wood was a heterosexual, and so are most transvestites.
Yes I know but the point is the transgender considers themselself in need of a sex change. He goes on to discuss this in the film and the operation.
This is what he termed as ‘nature’s mistake’ and should be accepted by society as so.
He also compares that ‘normal’ behavior to the ‘normal’ behavior of dressing up as a woman as a transvestite does. They both s/b considered normal, according to the film.
Yet the film shows he is in need of therapy which eventually his wife provides with her understanding.
