In other words, this movie was basically Glen Or Glenda for the 70's, albeit with a bigger budget and a lot more earnestness about it (unwillingly).

Not at all. Glen was a transvestite, not a transsexual. BIG difference. Glen was based on Ed Wood's fondness for cross dressing. Christine Jorgensen was a real person though the filmmakers took huge liberties with her story.

Wasn't Ed Wood originally considering the Jorgensen story as a film but couldn't secure the rights or something (which is why his film eventually became "Glen or Glenda")?
