Fascinating that you decided to dissect this movie from a trans perspective. A little over 2 weeks ago I used Ron Batty's famous line toward the end of his life which was ad-libbed by Rutger Hauer in the movie to describe the experience of a trans woman I've become close to in New Jersey. For over 40 years she has devoted her life to the needs of others, wanting only to finally complete a physical transition into the woman she has always known herself to be. She wants just a little more life. Her humanity and sacrifice shines through in the same way that Roy's did. There are so many parallels. Thank you for sharing. Your article resonated with me.
