The story of the life and death of a young [[Useful Notes/TranssexualTransgender|transman]] named Brandon Teena. His legal name was Teena Brandon, but that was unknown to the gang of misogynist homophobic rednecks he joined.
 
They accepted him as one of the guys, and he even started dating the sister of one of these new friends. Of course, when they "discovered" that he was assigned female, they considered him to be a lesbian. Homophobic hate-crimes ensued.
Line 8:
Not to be confused with [[Men Don't Cry]] or the boy band from a ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' episode.

* [[Attractive Bent Gender]]: Rare example of a female to male, but in ''Boys Don't Cry'' about the real life murder of Brandon Teena, who was a trans man, Hillary Swank not only looked convincingly male (she lived as a man for about a month in preparation for the role; her neighbors believed the young man coming and going was her brother), but was not bad-looking.
