* ValuesDissonance: Noxie's descriptions of different types of trans people may be consistent with 90's attitudes, but terminology has changed a great deal since then. She says that a transvestite is someone who crossdresses as fun or as a fetish, a transsexual is someone born in wrong body and has an operation, and a drag queen is a gay man with "way too much fashion sense for one gender." With trans people much more vocal and visible since this movie came out, these definitions have all fallen out of favor for the following reasons:

** Drag is no longer seen as strictly the domain of gay men, with drag kings and transgender performers being more visible than they were back then. Also, simply not every drag queen is gay or transgender. Some are definitely heterosexual, bi, asexual, cisgender or what have you (a good example being Scaredy Cat from the UK season of ''Series/RuPaulsDragRace'' who was the first contestant that revealed that she has a girlfriend).
