Velvet Goldmine delves into the gender-bending aesthetics and sexual fluidity of the 1970s glam rock scene. While characters like Brian Slade and Curt Wild challenge traditional gender norms through their performance and presentation, the film does not include any characters who identify as transsexual. Its focus is on cisgender individuals exploring gender expression and queer relationships.
