Jess used to be a man. Then he found himself in a female body. It wasn't funny.

As I remember it, Hoffman's face-conveying surprise, confusion, indignation-shows perfectly Michael's reaction to the absence of (and, just maybe, awareness of) the advantage/s he's been receiving just because he's male. The entire movie should've been about that. Just that. It wasn't.

Really interesting book." poolays, LibraryThing "Very interesting book. ... Definitely worth reading." Dan, Goodreads
