For the Cinemania thread:

In POTC 2, Keira dresses as a young boy in order to find her love. She is so fetching at that point that I can't imagine anyone of any gender identification not being attracted to her character.

Later in the story, she tricks Jack Sparrow in order to save herself and her lover. He looks at her and acknowledges her deceit of him in what I consider the greatest line in any movie I've seen: "Pirate!"

There are many gender options available to us. We may subscribe to one or to several. But we can all be pirates.
