Transamerica
I'm gonna say our mantra.
''This is the voice I want to use. ''
over and over again.
but with different inflections.
and I want you to try to mimic
what I'm doing.
This is the voice I want to use.
This is the voice I want to use.
Now. what we're gonna do
is press down on our tongue
and sot of watch what's happening
at the back of our mouths.
Ready?
Aaaah...
Any suicidal tendencies?
No.
You ever felt
as though you were being followed?
No.
Any history of family mental illness?
No.
Medical procedures to date?
The usual electrolysis.
three years of hormone therapy.
facial feminization surgery.
brow lift. forehead reduction.
jaw re-contouring.
and a tracheal shave.
You look very authentic.
I try to blend in.
Keep a low profile.
I believe the slang terminology
is ''Living Stealth. ''
Do you consider yourself
a happy person?
Yes.
l mean, no.
l mean...
l will be.
Miss Osbourne,
there's no such thing
as a right answer in this office.
Yes, l'm a very happy person.
How can l help you
if you won't be honest with me?
You can sign that consent form.
Please.
The American Psychiatric Association
categorizes gender dysphoria
as a very serious mental disorder.
After my operation,
not even a gynecologist
will be able to detect
anything out of the ordinary
about my body.
l will be a woman.
Don't you find it odd
that plastic surgery
can cure a mental disorder?
How do you feel about your penis?
lt disgusts me.
l don't even like looking at it.
What about friends?
They don't like it, either.
No, l mean,
do you have the support of friends?
l'm very close to my therapist.
What about your family?
My family is dead.
You take some hormones
And l'll take some hormones
Make me happy when skies...
Sh*t.
l mean darn.
Darn. l mean darn it.
Darn it, darn it, darn it.
Mmm.
Good night, Bree.
Sleep tight, Bree.
Hmm.
I Orale !
Oh!
This is the voice.
l...this...
this is the voice.
This is the voice.
Hello.
Mrs. or Mrs. Bhumibol Niratpattanasani?
Mrs. Niratpattanasani,
this is Bree Osbourne calling
with a special introductory offer
from the National Home Shopping...
Hello?
Hello.
Stanley Schupak
doesn't live here anymore.
Who's calling?
Stanley doesn't have a son.
You must have the wrong number.
How old are you?
Why don't you call your mother?
Hello. May l please speak
to Mr. Jamal Niang?
Mr. Niang, it's Bree Osbourne calling
from the National Home Shopping Club
with a special introductory rate
of only $19.90...
Hello?
He signed it.
l am so proud of you!
Two signatures.
l hereby pronounce you officially legal
to undergo sexual reassignment surgery.
Thank you.
l just...
Mmm.
Thank you.
So...
What else is new?
l made my sales quota
for the month on Tuesday.
That pink lamb's wool cardigan
that l ordered arrived.
Oh, and this is odd.
l got a phone call last night
from a juvenile inmate
of the New York prison system.
- He claimed to be Stanley's son.
- No third person.
My son.
l thought you told me
that you were a virgin.
Hmm.
There was this one girl at college,
tragically lesbian that
l didn't think it counted.
Wow!
A son.
An alleged son.
He's probably just
some sort of scam artist.
What is he scamming you for?
Well, l guess we'll never know.
Nothing is gonna stop me
from checking into
that hospital next week.
l'm not gonna get dragged back
into Stanley's old life.
Stanley's life is your life.
Why don't you get in touch
with the mother?
She's dead.
Anyway, he's practically 1 8.
He's old enough
to take care of himself.
Bree...
this is a part of your body
that cannot be discarded.
l don't want you to go through
this metamorphosis
only to find out
you're still incomplete.
What if l...
visit him later...
after my surgery...
after l've settled into my new life?
When you're ready.
What are you doing?
l can't give this
Yes, you can.
Margaret, l can't miss
my surgery on Friday.
They're booked up a year in advance.
l'll wire bail money to New York.
l'll-l'll call a social worker
and have someone
check in on him.
What do you want me to do?
Bree, honey...
l just want you to be ready.
Hello. May l please
have the number
of the New York City
downtown lock-up?
MAN:
Mr. Schupak.
Ms. Schupak.
l mean, Ms. Osbourne.
l changed it.
Can l ask what your relationship
is to the prisoner?
Allegedly, l'm his...
allegedly, he's my son.
This is a new one.
According to this,

that he was in possession
of a small amount
of a suspicious-looking white powder,
