me parece interesante como en 9 minutos ya plantea el cuestionamiento de que las identidades trans masc deban seguir esa crianza o forma de actuar machista para ser "suficientemente hombres", que no hace falta una operación sino que es simplemente para uno reafirmar su expresión de género. sino, ser trans sería la misma mierda de intentar pertenecer a la cis heteronorma.
ah tambíen me gusta que use traje, a mi tambíen me gusta vestir formal para reafirmar mi género ajaksj

When you let people speak for themselves in regards to their own experiences surrounding identity, you get extremely illuminating insight as to just a single aspect of the larger group. This short film gives Henry such a great voice and when his speech is intercut with various frames of words and a sort of queer definition for those terms, it becomes a powerful “I Am Here” sort of statement. Even to me, an AMAB nonbinary person who primarily presents masculine, I found this incredibly affirming and moving.
