Pat Riley is a chubby, whiny, and obnoxious job-hopper of indeterminate gender who is searching for a steady foundation in life. Pat falls in love with Chris (whose gender is also unrevealed to the audience) and the two get engaged. Meanwhile, Pat's neighbor Kyle develops an unhealthy obsession with identifying Pat's gender and begins stalking them. He sends a tape of Pat performing
karaoke to a television show called ''America's Creepiest People'', bringing them to the attention of the band
Ween, who feature Pat in one of their performances, playing the
sousaphone. Pat and Chris break up when Pat learns that Ween intended only to use them for one gig. Kyle steals Pat's laptop containing their diary and tries to coerce them into revealing the computer's password so he can access the files. When Pat only answers that it's a word in the dictionary, Kyle begins manually trying every word. He eventually succeeds with the password "
zythum" (an Egyptian malt beer) and reads the diary. However, he does not find the answer to his question and finally snaps. Meanwhile, a gang of thugs with the same goal begin harassing Pat, who becomes distraught over the thugs' use of the term "androgynous". Pat complains to Kathy, a friend who is a therapist and host of a radio talk show. When Pat reacts acerbically to call-in listeners, the station fires Kathy and replaces her with Pat. Kyle calls into Pat's radio show saying he has Pat's laptop, and sets up a meeting at the
Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum to retrieve it. Pat arrives to find Kyle dressed precisely like them. Kyle demands that Pat strip naked, but Pat runs off into a Ween concert. Pat falls after Kyle corners them on a
catwalk. Their pants get torn off by a hook, and they are lowered with their genitalia exposed to the cheering concert audience, but not to Kyle or the viewer. Security guards subsequently take Kyle away. Pat then runs to see Chris, just as Chris is leaving on an ocean liner. In an epilogue, Pat and Chris marry. During the end credits, Kathy hosts her radio show again, and the first caller is Kyle, whose obsession with Pat has driven him to
cross-dressing. ==Cast==
