Glen/Glenda

"Glen" and "Glenda" are characters from the 1935 film *Son of Frankenstein*, where "Glen" is a misleading nickname for the monster, symbolizing innocence or misunderstanding. Later, in director Ed Wood's 1953 film *Glen or Glenda?*, these names are used to explore gender identity and transgender issues, with "Glen" representing a male presenting himself as female and "Glenda" exploring themes of gender fluidity. The film is an early, frank attempt to discuss gender dysphoria, using personal stories to address societal attitudes and personal identity struggles.
