ABSTRACT This personal narrative essay examines the way erasure occurs alongside representation in the 1999 film Boys Don’t Cry. The author reflects on his experience seeing the film when it was first released, as a young transmasculine person. He describes multiple forms of erasure: his own, the exclusion of Philip DeVine from the film’s narrative, and even of Brandon Teena’s trans masculinity. The author considers the impact of the film on his own life and the way erasure in the film relates to the contemporary political climate in the United States.

Clinicians, for their part, have returned to gender and sexuality with heightened sensitivity to the role of these constructs in the treatment situation, including the richly variegated ways in which assumptions about gender and sexuality enter into our understandings of "normality" and "pathology."
