Resumo |
This article analyses the representation of male-to-female transsexuality as represented in Duncan Tucker's film <i>Transamerica</i> (2005). Using a combination of transgender theory and textual analysis this article argues that there is a normativising agenda in this film that makes transsexuality pallatable for non-transgender (or cisgender) audiences by aligning it with idealised (and conservative) conventions in Western culture for women, those of motherhood, heterosexuality, and family-centricity. |
