I went to see it before it was released in Hong Kong. The acting of the male lead/heroine is amazing. The suitability of this actor lies in his ability to have a calm and slightly quivering face when he is excited. The enlarged expressions and eyes in the close-up make people feel a little bit of empathy, which can resonate with the audience and is also a manifestation of the performance.
A man has feminine characteristics, character, and even if he wants to be a woman, the feedback from society is often negative. Words like "sissy", sissy, etc. though are discriminatory against them by other men. But as a woman, it is much more forgiving. We want a manly partner who, like the heroine in the film, can provide a shoulder to lean on when she is always strong and occasionally vulnerable. But at the same time, he will not reject a caring person who is tender and delicate. Maybe a GAY secret experience would be better. And SISSY may be more difficult to deal with, and there is no obstacle to being a sister.
Therefore, when the protagonist of the film can bravely pursue the dream he has had since he was a child, his inner firmness is quite touching.
I think, I re-updated my understanding, there is a big difference between homosexuality and "gender disorder".
Society is so truthful to men, yet so tolerant of women who want to be a little more MAN.
In the same way, wanting to be a little man and wanting to be a man may be more different, different degrees.
Thoughts and feelings are really delicate enough, a little difference can lead to a big difference in nature.
I think, I just have a male character. Decisive, brave, rational (or have their brains), want to enjoy the freedom society gives them, discriminate against unequal beneficiaries, but not really become physically male, have a girlfriend to take care of. Perhaps an appreciation for femininity exists as well. But it may not necessarily be an appreciation of complementarity and opposition, but a parallel understanding.
