did not understand the plot twist

People come to this movie looking for a "twist", and get so wrapped up in its execution that they completely miss the point of it all.
And this mentality is the reason for the popularity of such atrocities as The Dark Knight. -

Even if you knew about Dil or not think about this I think the other twist is that Fergus actually came to see Dil as a She and care for her, that he and she seem to be a couple at the end, i didnt see that coming seeing as how he had a part in her lovers death.

When I first saw this movie with my friends we immediately started making jokes how Dil looks like a man. If that was supposed to be a plot twist, then it's the most obvious plot twist in movie history.

Jelly, you didn't say when you saw this film. Most of us who first saw it in the early 1990s were of a different era, in which transgender issues were not yet common fare. Most of us had no reason to think of Dil as other than what s/he presented. Now we know that human sexuality has never been as simple as just M or F. We understand that many are born physically neither/both M/F. And many others are born with the body parts of one sex but feeling they are the gender of the other, like Dil. And these two sets of factors can be separate from (or linked to) the sexual orientation one is born with, which is to say who one is attracted to and fantasizes about being intimate with. For most of us it is pretty simple (matching sex & gender and standard orientation), but for millions of our brothers and sisters, it is more complicated. We owe them our loving support, and equality of rights under the law.
I have seen enough to know I have seen too much.

I think you hit the nail right on the head. This movie doesn't have the same effect on people because we live in a different time. I have known many transgendered people and have studied the issue enough to not be shocked or disturbed by it. So, this movie really didn't "do much" for me. For one I knew that Dil was a man before the reveal and two even after it is revealed I didn't find the movie overall to really be that good. I'm shocked it was nominated for Best Picture because I would probably give the movie a 6/10 at best. I can't say I didn't like it but it was not very good. I thought the setup was promising but the second half was boring and drawn out.

Regardless of twist its simply a story of love between two human beings, in the end the sexuality of Dil and Fergus is irrelevant they care for each other as lovers even though (in Fergus`s eyes) they are not.

Yeah, I was waiting for that big twist all the time. Was not sure if that was it.
I was really scratching my head thinking, really? People really did saw a woman instead of a man?
First time I seen "her" something was really off. I mean, yes its possible to mix it up, but it was kinda obvious for me Males and females have very different scull.
So if that one is considered a twist Well, that wasn't a twist for me
Anyone who consideres this a twist facepalm Again, I am ok with some people not recognizing it. But I would still not take this as a twist, lol.
