The Danish Girl
Most men only want to be female so that they can cry their way out of speeding tickets.
However, the dude in this drama actually identifies with the feminine gender.
When asked by his wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander) to model nylons for a portrait, Einar Wegener's (Eddie Redmayne) secret desire to cross-dress is finally sated.
Encouraged by Gerda to go a gala as his alter ego Lilli, Einer attends the event in drag and attracts the eye of a bachelor Henrik (Ben Whishaw).
Later, Gerda's paintings of Lilli begin to sell, while Lilli herself undergoes a procedure to become a permanent woman so she can marry Henrik.
Although its transgendered subject matter is certainly timely and Redmayne's performance is utterly transcending, most of the facts of this fact-based biography are bent to better its provocative love story.
Incidentally, a telltale sign if a woman was once a man is their level of flatulence.
