Product Description
From Doris "Queen of Exploitation" Wishman comes LET ME DIE A WOMAN, one of the most jaw-dropping and unclassifiable films ever to ooze forth from the Seventies grindhouse. A stunning sleaze-umentary on the medical condition known as gender dysphoria, this doco-style sleaze-fest includes unabridged interviews with post-ops, bull dykes and drag queens, probing anatomical examinations, and real medical stock footage from an actual sex change operation! It's enough to make you want to put on an iron jock strap!

I was a bit curious how Leslie got the money to transition and have the surgery (which she said she had in Jackson Heights, New York for $4,000.), but she never says only that she became a makeup artist for Peter Jennings of ABC News after the film was released. Someone on the film was a makeup artist as well and that's how she got the gig. It was a little humorous how she said she would've never been in a therapy group they had in the film which showed several non-passable male-to-female transsexuals. I actually attended a group like that in Galveston, Texas many years ago, so I know the feeling. I never went back.
The film had both male-to-female transsexuals and female-to-male and one, a middle-aged male, that appeared to be an autogyenpile transgender that ended up hanging himself. They presented his scene as if changing his gender was more a sexual fetish/interest for him and he eventually took a girlfriend after having a breakdown. There wasn't a name for it back then, I guess.
I do suspect this film was released to cash in on the fame of tennis player, and transsexual, Renee Richards since it came out during her time in the news. 'Let Me Die a Woman' is an interesting film to see, but I also understand the negative reviews it got as well.
Leslie, the main Trans woman in the film is fabulous. She's beautiful, determined and profound. She came basically from nothing in Puerto Rico, and explains in detail what it was like growing up with her feelings, and even about her contemplation of suicide. I had to admire the tenacity of the woman, because she accomplished what she set out to do.
Other parts of the film are quite gross and graphic. Stock footage of vaginas being constructed, the doctor examing Transgender vaginas, simulated sex scenes, and a whole lot more lol.
The one thing positive I can say about this film is that it may assist someone should they be struggling with this. They can see all the ups and downs in transitioning. It may be overdramatic at times and even camp, but I think their intentions were in the right place even though they exploited these women.
You know what they say...You can't be exploited unless YOU allow it. I mean no one is forcing any of those women to be on The Real Housewivess shows.
Just be warned...this film can be quite graphic at times. I do not recommend it for ANYONE under 18.
It's almost a porno film ,even porn star (Harry Reems) of Deep Throat fame is in it ,as they reinact how a trans woman has sex too soon and he leaves her in a small pool of blood after intercourse. They actually show a full sex change surgery blow by blow. Then show the results weeks after with her spread eagle! I must say they have certainly come along way in the surgery department! Now with the new technology the vagina is aesthetically pleasing and one would never know it was created and not genetic.
But this film is just for shock value although most of the information as to the mindset of transgender individuals is accurate. Not for the squeamish or closed minded.
