Most important line of the entire franchise. Not by like, shaping the plot or anything. Just by cutting directly to the core of everything they are fighting for.
Its so much more than just trans culture too. This sentiment applies to so many things and if in each case folks just stopped hidin who they are, it wud devastate any attempts to claim we are anythin more than merely their fellow human.
@@LeilaniYungen Society at large forces us to hide, to try to blend in with everyone else, often under threat of violence or death at the hands of either the state or terrorist conservatives. Despite these threats, some choose not to hide, Because we shouldn't have to.
At the time of the movie it was more like gay people shouldnt have to pass for straight, get into sham marriages, and lie about being gay to employers/family/government/friends. This movie came after the AIDS crisis, but before the transition from gay culture to LGBTQIA+PFLAG culture
Why does this line go so fuckin hard?
Because it's a mother advising her son
Because it's true.
Such a great line.

@LeilaniYungen imagine the same dialogue between two trans folks
