I suppose they were going for a clockwork orange/ lord of the flies fantasy drag king thing..... but:
1. You don't become a woman just b/c your d'ck falls off. Gender is not dependent any body parts other than your brain.
2. these hooligans would have never become men anyway. One becomes a "Man" by the choices they make; just like one becomes a "Woman" by making other choices. And one of those choices is first becoming an adult and taking responsibility for ones actions. (This is what you learn when you actually explore the idea of gender.) 3. The multiple r'pe and grooming scenes might be there show just how "savage" these kids are; but making them so voyeristic and homo erotic could be seen as an endorsement.
4. flipping back and forth between color & black & white didn't make any stylistic sense to me and was more distracting than anything.
