Nicole Coty of Same But Different documentary dies

By JUSTIN KENDALL

Lisa Marie Evans sent out an e-mail today saying Nicole Coty has died. Evans featured Coty in her documentary about transgendered people The Same But Different.

In one of the more memorable and touching moments of the documentary, Coty, a vivacious, redheaded male-to-female transgendered comedian and former truck driver said she feared her children would treat her more like an aunt than a parent.

And in one of the funnier moments, Coty admitted that she had spent $4,000 at McDonald’s in a year while driving her truck.

Evans wrote:
