Living as a man, twenty-one-year-old Teena brandon was living as a man. She was on the run from her family and the law for forging checks. Handsome and sophisticated, Brandon was an instant success, with young women. But, when Brandon started to date a beautiful girl named lana tisdel, her luck ran out. On Christmas Eve, Brandon's true sexual identity was reveiled. on New Year's Eve, Brandon, her roommate, and a friend were found shot to death in an isolated farmhouse. Many teenagers in America are bodly experimenting with gender identity, and Teena Brandon and her friends paid a terrible price for sexual freedom. This is a compelling story from start to finish. It is very controversial. It made me feel for all who were involved.
