After reading Redefining Realness and Becoming Nicole, there were multiple differences between the two stories of the main characters transitioning from male to female.

Introduction to Women’s Studies 101.1002 Jackson November 7. 2016 Blurring the Lines "Realness" defined by the dictionary definition is "existing or occurring as fact; actual rather than imaginary, ideal, or fictitious" but taking it a step further and defining it in the drag world, realness "commonly refers to the ability to “blend” or “pass” as the opposite sex." The entirety of Janet Mock 's Redefining Realness is exactly that, to take her own definition of the word and use it as a non-conformative

The Realness and Fantasy in Silko’s Ceremony. Many pieces of literature often blur the lines between what is considered real and imaginary. One such example is the novel Ceremony (1977) by Leslie Marmon Silko. The story manages to tread the fine line between reality and fantasticalness.

Paris is Burning is a documentary about the ‘ballroom culture’ of LGBT and black cultures. It was shot in the mid-80s in New York, but it was released 1990.
