#3 actually women do have an adams apple. It less visible because the hormone testosterone makes it grow. Women have much less testosterone.
TinaEveFox
I just came out to all my friends and some more family members, been taking hormones for 5 months.
stltim
Sorry but John Leguizamo was the best part of this movie lol
FarkasMacTavish
Women absolutely have Adam's apples. Men usually have them more prominently, but it's just the hyoid bone. Sometimes it's bigger.

Not only that, but he auditioned to be a Chip N Dale and narrowly beat Chris Farley
Kosjir
That audition was rigged from the start. Farley had it won. Someone payed off the judges.

Need a GIF of Dean Winchester saying “Swayze always gets a pass!” (I think he was listening to a Dirty Dancing song?)
Iloveanonymityandilovebeingnoticed
Ah, no, he said “Nobody puts Baby in a corner” (referring to his car).
CecilyBumTrinket
TOO WONG FOO! This is my favorite movie of all time.
Jupman
This is thing we had this movie, bugs bunny, and ladyboys. And now everyone has a problem with trans people to an even greater extent.

Don’t forget Robin Williams. He did it even before this ?

Damn...that Neil Gaiman comment though. Very true!

I was confused at first like “wait did he help write it?!” and went to check Wikipedia. (The movie was written by Douglas Carter Beane)
MaddogExplosive
I've never heard of this and had no idea it existed. Maybe I was just really busy with Power Rangers back then.

Kbantar
You can do drag without being gay. If I had the body and money for clothes, I'd probably try it.
DMSledge
I can guarantee you that any body can do it.
synonymoususer
This movie is a classic
ManateemSix
I've not watched it. How would this not work now? Curiously asking.
LordDebuchan
They get stranded in an area that today would fly Trump flags. Some in the movie were like that, but today it would just be ugly.
ChurlishSunshine
A homophobic sheriff wouldn't be a comedy villain these days is my main guess.
NotTinyPancakes
Reminds me of the Wig in a box song from Hedwig and the angry inch...or just that whole musical really well worth watching any version >
NotTinyPancakes
but I recommend the movie or any run with John Cameron Mitchel as Hedwig, if nothing else appeals then there is some excellent rock music
OnePostCloserToAHappierLIfe
And let's be perfectly honest: The jawline and cheekbones kind of gave it away.

Vida isn’t just a woman, but a true lady.

I love it that people are so convinced of gender roles they write essays to people who 'break gender norms.'
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Out of curiosity, what was wrong with the portrayal that it could not be written now?
gdex86
The sherrif couldn't be a comedy villian after the "Gay panic" shit and Chichi and the country boy would be carefully handled.
Lexxatron02
I'm glad I'm not the only one who always felt weird about the Chichi/Bobby Ray plotline.
gdex86
It's a weird. And there isn't a great answer I a CiS guy can come upwith. I can't blame them for being protective of their identities.
pizzapartyhard
I think it’s more about giving those roles to actual LGBTQ+ individuals these days. Giving them power and a voice.
SometimesISayHistoryStuff
Ahh, ok. Thank you.
STAR266
But shouldn't actors act?
primaveraish
Yes they should, but LGBTQ+ actors and actresses are barely getting roles as is, at least they should be getting roles the "belong" to them.

Friend got oral from a girl at a bar, Said then he noticed she had an adams apple. I said what did you do? He said let her finish of course
B99Reactions
You're getting oral at a bar, there's not much else you wouldn't do at that point
BernieMittens
John Leguizamo still has more legs than a bucket of chicken
Beefkins
He was great in everything I've seen him in!
Spaz125
His one man shows are STAGGERING. Also throughly enjoyed his history lesson on Netflix, I learned a lot about LatinAmerica
Beefkins
Have not seen those, will check them out!
ptenopus
My bucket of chicken only has breasts and thighs.. just how I like 'em
Buttrre
John Leguizamo had no business being as hot as he was as Chichi LaRue, but hot damn he was hot as Chichi LaRue.
Spaz125
I wish he’d been sober for that role and could have had better relationships with his co-workers.
triflersNeedNot
My dad genuinely thought his character was played by an afab woman. It was fun showing him John L out of makeup
cfbshank36
Afab?

I read as ABFAB and though yes absolutely fabulous, which also applies

Not Arab typo. Thank you.
SerenePrincess013
Mr Legs, I guess you could call him.
MCNewYorkLives
I don't know anything about this movie. But why is this something that "could not be made today"?
MCNewYorkLives
Is it bc it would have to be done by a transgender person to be accepted? Is it bc we've moved past needing this movie?
MCNewYorkLives
Normally that statement is done in reference to a movie being unacceptable or offensive by current standards so I want to know the issue
Eldibs
I've never seen this movie, but props to Patrick Swayze for rocking the role.
jansenart
It's called To Wong Foo and it's fucking hilarious and amazing. Like footloose but trans.
JesusAssCrackers
It’s a treat, watch it!
LateNightBunnyParty
You absolutely should.
MaxMinutiae
I loved every minute of it.
objectsubjectverb
What movie?! I don’t see the title anywhere!
PTJ82
To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything Julie Newmar.
objectsubjectverb
I thought that was the name of a chat thread, and not a movie I’m so sorry of course it is at the top but thank you again anyway!!!

My philosophy on respecting others. My friends and I joke that we're never toxic, but we can get petty if others act like dicks first lol

Sounds like the start of a beautiful "In the bedroom" D/s relationship.

Unrelated - that gif was the best scene ever. He was such a dick, I loved it.

Dudeitsonlyme
This was a great movie. Many laughs and fantastic acting. And seeing Wesley Snipes dressed in drag ... priceless.
HereForTheSurpriseMeat
It was great casting all around. John Leguizamo seemed perfect for Chi-Chi
SayWhatYouMeanMeanWhatYouSay
And just the fact that they all did it. They didn’t make a huge deal about it, it was just a film. It was actors performing. It was NORMAL.
PennsylvaniaPalindrome
"That great blacktress, Dorothy Dandridge..." education and flawless delivery

Also, everyone has an adams apple, it's just that testosterone exposure makes it get larger/move down. Plenty of cis women will have a small
takingupspace
And lots of men don't have a visible one.
paintingagency
It's true. Some guys look like they're smuggling a regulation baseball in their esophagus. I definitely don't.
seyne
one visible if they look up and yawn (or even at rest in some cases)
Onebigcanuck
Thank you! I was going to comment if someone else hadn't.
Knifeywifey
Giggle. CIS woman here. A few moments of awkward throat touching & gurgling later, I can confirm this is true, but it's way up under my chin
OtterlyMagnificent
That's actually one of the things with voice training. more feminine sounding voices come from higher hyoid bone (And larynx with it), so1/
Knifeywifey
Huh. When I lost my voice, I found speaking in lower registers helped. I'd dip my chin & push on my throat to make it happen. Now I know why
OtterlyMagnificent
a lot of the training for a fem voice is to put that as high as possible.2/2
seyne
Yep! Although it's important to not get over-focused on just raising the larynx, because there are a lot of other factors and beyond a point
Chimichanga007
I simultaneously abhor and pity men with toxic "masculinity". Sadly it seems like that is most of the men i have to interact with
Chimichanga007
I'm comfortable in my skin, i love lgbtq people because i feel they are also comfortable in their skin. I never could understand homophobia
Kbantar
I thought most people weren't comfortable in their skin, hence all the self esteem issues.
Kbantar
Ditto. I wonder if that's partly why I've always gotten along with girls then women. Way TF too much macho bullshit in our society.
vorpalblade82
The sad thing is that masculinity is a great and powerful thing (as is femininity) and its been ruined by arseholes.
Chimichanga007
/2 My coworkers are miserable, homophobic, racists. They are more often than not miserable, it seems. They comment that i seem so happy in
Chimichanga007
/3 general, and i say "I'm just high on life". In reality i feel i must go into positivity overdrive to counteract the darkness around me.
Chimichanga007
/4 and then i realize that I'm giving my positivity and energy to these hateful people. I am trying my best to get another job.
VaultGirl69
I have one co-worker like this and I avoid him like the plague. He's always breaking the rules and playing stupid about it, too. No mask eit
GeneralAnubis
Good luck in the job hunt, but take pride in that you may be the bright spot that keeps them from diving deeper into the abyss
Roobix3
I understand you brother, as if it were me writing that. I'm only positive to counteract the darkness of others.

Normally they’re a bit more cautious. They don’t just run in. They try a finger first.
gamblingpoet
or you are Johnny Shit-Knuckles, legendary anal-fisting porn star.
Flabort
A lot of folks must have seen this as a personal attack on them. Was it meant as such? I have doubts.
CrimeBrulee
It's being said (at least) dismissively.
Snotty128
In part, perhaps. I’ve found it to be true often enough though. The person who has a problem with everyone is normally the problem
CrimeBrulee
Maybe that makes you the asshole about those people... Absolutes often have more exceptions than not, like "i before e."
