never underestimate the ability of people to entertain completely unrealistic notions in their head, especially about themselves
and given modern norms, I bet at no stage any of the allied health professionals involved ever mention the word ugly. anyway, it's just an observation. When I see a tranny walk down the high street I often wonder if getting continuously stared at aghast like a circus freak was quite what they had in mind when they felt like expressing their trapped gender identity or however they describe it. It's certainly not the experience that most women whom they're trying to emulate get. The ones who you can instantly identify as such have it a bit easier, it's the ones where there's that initial doubt that get those unmoderated reactions.
And priscilla, which I've seen, was about drag queens doing a touring show. I hope you're not suggesting people make the transition just so they can be Ru Paul. I didn't think it was that realistic anyway. People in shitty mining towns, where I've spent a fair bit of time, are more accepting of wierdos and outcasts than you might think, as a lot of them are that themselves. It's the endless suburbs of australia where most people live where people are the most conformist and judgemental

like the way you've written multiple paragraphs of your opinion of what other people's intenal thought processes are and how you'll judge them for just wanting to be happy?

Priscilla highlights differences in why people do drag.
One of the characters is transgender, the others are in drag. For the guys this is 'showbiz' for her it is more serious.

it's been a long time since I watched it, but I remember it being a good flick, good performances
And I take the point you were making
I think it was terence stamps character who was the transgender, who he played with a fair bit of pathos
