The Involuntary Parent Trap: Transamerica
A transgender patient is basically punished for being transgender. What fun.
Okay, there is obviously more to the 2005 movie Transamerica than that. Like the way that the movie's transsexual protagonist was relentlessly humiliated for trying to do the right thing by a teenaged son that he or she never asked for.
But in the end, it all amounted to the same thing: a transsexual patient was being punished for circumstances beyond his or her control and we the audience were expected to find that entertaining. Surely one does not have to be politically correct to find something seriously warped about that.
