The academic recognition the film did receive, includes a comparison of the portrayal of romantic love in this and other 'trans-films' Abbott and how paratext film reviews, movie posters and director commentary can 'validate, and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender LGBT life and subjectivity' Cavalcante Although the discourse on gender goes far back in history and has a solid academic grounding, there is no focus in academia on how this specific film provides insight into gender constructs and transsexuals. However, in light of a number of recent instances that have highlighted the shifting landscape in gender studies, particularly in terms of transgender existence and the fluidity of gender, the topic has become popular, as can be seen in contemporary American society in this part of the 21st century. A more recent example is President Trump's ban of transgender individuals in the military, which has generated many discussions in terms of participation of transgender individuals in society.
