For instance Bree talks to her mother and her sister, who also talk to each other. Bree also talks to her therapist.

I've not watched this movie since 2006, so I won't disagree with the rating, but I've a question which I don't know where else to ask: Bree (played by Felicity Huffman) is a male character who is a transgender woman. Felicity is playing a biological male character / transgender woman... not a biological female character.

Is the Bechdel Test "PC" which includes transgender women as female characters? So transgender men would be male characters, even if a FtM (or MtF) is revealed to be a female (Boys Don't Cry, Albert Nobbs, The Crying Game)?
