I watched this movie recently for the first time. I knew all about the movie from the hype it got 10 years earlier, and I knew what to expect, so it wasn't really a shock to me (especially since I also dated a transexual shortly before the movie came out). I found myself also wondering if Jody had set Fergus up knowing that he would be killed. However, the movie focuses on the 'true nature' of people, considering the frog and scorpion story. I think that Jody genuinely liked Fergus and, due to life experience, knew that it was in his nature to be kind. Because of this, he wanted Fergus to visit his lover knowing that once he met her, there would be a strong chance that he would take care of her. He also knew that, if anyone else was going to be able to get past Gil's physical problem, that it would be Fergus.
I enjoyed this movie immensely and would recommend it to anyone interested in an adventurous/intelligent/romantic movie. And figure out for yourself if it was all a nasty last-resort prank played on Fergus by Jody, or if it was a loving last-resort plea to have Fergus look after Jody's ill-fated but beautiful lover.
