reality might be harsher: Troy just loved trans
I mean, in here they are representing Tray as the one who fell in love with the woman in Calpernia, and so they try to represent just a romantic story where may be there wasn't all that romance.
there are people who are into trans. that's a fact.
I think tray was sexually moved by the trans. may be he even fell in love with Calpernia, but just the trans Calpernia, she wouldn't like (or wouldn't like that much) a Calpernia girl.
don't wanna be mean or attack transgender in any way, that's just my thought and i don't like romanticed stuff just to snatch icky feelings from the audience.
