this movie is indicative of a larger movement in trans art, pointing away from the cisnormative and into a more fluid concept of gender. we see all stages of orlando represented within so many different types of people, brought together by their transness—specifically transness, not just the fact that they happen to be trans. accepting the motion and evolution of your story is crucial in breaking away from cisnormativity and forming a more complete image of yourself, and this film demonstrates this from every point of the spectrum.
incorporating the story of orlando into this while weaving in and out of a talking head documentary gives us a great sense of this evolution. not only is there flux within every trans person’s life, but the story and perception of transness itself is changing by the second.
