Note(s) : Hailed as groundbreaking upon its original release, the Oscar-winning film Boys Don't
Cry offered the first mainstream access to transmasculine embodiment in North America,
one that many simultaneously celebrated and rejected. More than two decades after
its original release, the film has become a lightning rod for contemporary debates
about the representation of trans lives and deaths on screen. Representational possibilities
for trans people have changed dramatically since 1999. Morgan Page and Chase Joynt
approach the accumulated tension with a spirit of curiosity about the limits of these
historical returns. They argue that new visibilities of transness on screen require
us to re-engage earlier portrayals: Boys Don't Cry is central to conversations about
casting, violence against gender non-conforming people, and the borders between butch
and trans identities. Acknowledging a younger generation of queer and trans people
who are straining against the images foisted upon them, including this film's egregious
violence, and an older cohort for whom it remains a formative, if complicated, touchstone,
Joynt and Page revisit the original contexts of production and distribution to unsettle
the overdetermined ways the work has been understood and interpreted. Boys Don't Cry
ultimately relocates the film in a way that attends to the story's violence and values,
both on and off screen.
