Trans man Brandon Teena is raped and murdered by intolerant Nebraskans who were initially convinced that Teena was anatomically male. Spoiler Alert! Oops. One hopes that those not so tolerant of LGBT lifestyles who see this movie may have their eyes opened a bit. Swank seems to have a habit of taking on these "wedge" issues, like in Million Dollar Baby (no spoiler here). Kudos to her in her efforts.
Wikipedia tidbit: Teena’s headstone is inscribed with the name "Teena R. Brandon" and the epitaph "daughter, sister, & friend"
Way to miss the point entirely.
