Thelma and Louise

I don't have a specific part of the movie that has not been addressed yet; however, I did notice how both their transformations from femininity to masculinity can be seen but the way they dressed. Louise and Thelma start the road trip with typical girlwear such as dresses. They slowly start dressing more rugged as they get in trouble with the law. They start to take on a more masculine role by wearing jeans, sleeveless jean jackets, etc. What probably completed the transformation was when Thelma put on that trucker hat after they blew up the 18 wheeler. This movie shows how the road trip can lead to identity change based on the events that occur on the road.

Why did the cop show such trust and affection for the outlaws?
