The narrative is presumed to maintain a neutral or positive framing of traditional identities, without explicit critique.
Secondary
The provided information for 'Shadows of the Peacock' does not include details regarding LGBTQ+ characters or themes, preventing an evaluation of its portrayal based on the given rubric.
The film 'Shadows of the Peacock' (1988), corresponding to 'Dead Calm' (1989) by director Phillip Noyce and IMDb ID tt0092946, does not feature any identifiable transsexual characters or themes. Consequently, there is no portrayal to evaluate, resulting in a net impact of N/A.
