Wait. She's supposed to be a boy??

I've forgotten the scene you're talking about. Or does "not female" refer to "not human"?

SPOILER!

If you haven't read the book then you're led to believe that she means a vampire whe she says she's not a girl, but when Oskar peeks in on her changing and sees the scar where her penis used to be, you know the truth.

I'm gonna have to read the book??

Hmm...sexual abuse never even crossed my mind from the original movie. Maybe I figured having to deal with a vampire child was enough to explain away strange behavior.

Husky even asked me while we were watching "is the dad abusing the kid? " there is an uncomfortable undertone there

Sexy avatar . . .

I never thought that guy was her 'Dad.' More of a caretaker front due to her youthful appearance.

The book includes the backstory about exactly how Eli lost her penis and became a vampire.

Hold on, which kid and dad are we talking about here?

I've just seen the original only and here are my thoughts on this.

I think she/he searches out for a companion of her age. when finding one she stays with that person and they grow older and take care of her and look out for her. When something happens to them or they die then she searches out for another one.

More of companionship and not the father figure you think of. I really think she is in control and just allows the other person to follow. They have all the money they need from over the years.

This person just helps her and is probably to frightened to leave for fear of revenge.
