    Maybe I'm projecting the fatigue and exasperation I'm reading on Jane and Brigette's faces, but goddamn this interviewer really refused to engage with the actual meaning of the film even when they repeatedly spelled it out for him

    I'm not trans and I've always been an advocate for trans rights but I've never been able to understand what it felt like to be trans. This movie was so personal and impactful in helping me understand what it must be like to live with this feeling and because of pure circumstances, not being able to understand what is going on inside. It's a funny line, but the line that stood out to me was when Owen was asked about his sexuality and he said, "I don't know, I think I just like TV shows." It really hit hard for me. So unsure of who they were because they had no concept of what being trans is that they can only relate to their sexuality through the Pink Opaque show.

      i hate that this issue (for lack of a better word ugh) is seen in such a negative way. people are born differently then the “norm “ all the time (my daughters heart doesn’t work like others my identical twin boys have a small body part missing. not my business to say not noticeable)
      some people are born with opposite body parts to their sexual preferences etc (as per understanding what and why ).... done .... why is someone’s sex or sexual preference so controversial. we aren’t here for people to discover if we are a possible sexual conquest 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

    I firmly agree that tiky toky doesn’t cause this kind of dissociative shifting - kids who don’t want to be themselves will find a way. That said mass social technology clearly changes and accelerates the worst and best of social problems! Phone bad, but we didn’t start the fire.

      She didn't say tik tok caused it. She just mentioned it as an example of how people who need to dissociate will find a way

    I'm not sure how the movie is promoting acceptance. It's just a movie. I watched it in it's entirety, and found it interesting. I do not see any acceptance from it. I do, however, see the movie plot line.

      @@w0rm.f00d This is a typical reaction of a member of " mainstream" movie audiences, when something is made that is challenging because it is not made for them. The audience for this movie is pretty limited, and for some reason they dislike that from time to time a movie is made that is not made with them in mind.
      90 % of movies are. This is not one of them. That should be ok, but form some reason,....for some,... it existing and being appreciated by others,.... is not enough for them. I love that this film was made for me. I mean,...I am so used to seeing films made for wider audiences,... those are fine,.... but... this was made for _me_ .
      Instead of thinking that " ok, this wasn't made for me, no wonder I cannot get into it." they either think that there is something wrong with the film,.... or the makers of the film. Kinda Like..... " How dare they make a movie that was not made with me in mind, and meant for me.... How narcissistic of them."
      Self-awareness is an awesome thing in my opinion.

      ​@@w0rm.f00din my experience when somebody calls an openly queer person a narcissist they person calling them that is almost always a bigot. They hate queerness and any acknowledgement of it, let alone queer people existing openly, happily, and discussing queerness like you see here.
      It's actually really ironic that there's comments like this in videos about the film because there's a very specific scene in the film that's about how people can see queer pain and how repressing queer identity hurts people and that most people would rather just pretend to not see it. They deliberately ignore queer pain because they find it inconvenient or illegitimate. Instead most people will look away from the pain, even if they have to make it obvious that they're doing so, and then if they acknowledge it they'll act like the person experiencing such pain is crazy for feeling that pain in the first place.
