Brandon had not taken hormone therapy or sexual reassignment surgery (which some suggest that Brandon was a female-to-male transgendered person), but others note his plans to have sex reassignment surgery, suggesting he was a transsexual man.

He dated Lana Tisdale , a local woman.

Brandon Teena was portrayed by Hilary Swank in an Academy Award winning performance in 1999's Boys Don't Cry, which was itself based on the documentary film The Brandon Teena Story . Lana was played by Chloe Sevigny.
