Demme was woke and it was the 90s so Hollywood was celebrating gays and they had to take great pains to state the obvious tranny wasn't a tranny.

Real Transexualism has never been tried

No. This is a film whose story originated from a time when our culture was still sane. We embraced science. We condemned those who attempted to politicize it. And in doing so, we recognized the existence of transsexuals, a vanishingly small percentage of our population who were afflicted with genetic and developmental anomalies that did demonstrably make them cross-sex. You have seen examples of them in media - people born with conditions such as testosterone insensitivity, even rare forms of chimerism. Billy, in contrast, is a harbinger of the coming lunacy - a self-loathing, delusional psychotic who would go to any lengths to be someone other than who he is. His fellow psychotics protested this film at its release, only at the time, they lacked the megaphone of social media that gives their histrionics a voice so disproportionate to their number. Furthermore, the powers that be had yet to fully recognize the efficacy of using identity politics as a means of distraction.

Now here we are.
