almost no one noticed that Licia won the best supporting actress at this year's Oscar for "The Danish Girl".
female partner? My first reaction was, isn't she the heroine?
The girl on the side said: The heroine and the hero are all freckles!
Okay, I really can't argue with that.
"It's a story about rights," Licia said when she accepted the award.
Yes, in the 1920s, a female-conscious male artist underwent an unprecedented sex change operation, and her charm and courage were indeed flaming enough.
But I, who love Gypsophila the most when I look at flowers, is deeply attracted by the woman beside her - Gerda played by Licia, the wife of the world's first transgender Inar Vina.

Copenhagen, Denmark, the first thing that comes to mind is of course fairy tales.
Of all Andersen's fairy tales, my favorite is not so famous. The little girl Gerda and the little boy Gai had no idea. When they were playing in the garden, the fragments of the sunglasses scattered on the earth and fell into Gai's eyes and heart. Since then, Jiayi's temperament has changed greatly, and he is ruthless, and is taken to distant places by the Snow Queen. Gerda searched all the way, passed through the beautiful garden of the grandmother, the dangerous feast of cannibals, the castle of the prince and princess, and found the still cold Jiayi in the cold palace after all the hardships and dangers. lens. The two happily drove to their hometown in a sleigh.
This fairy tale is called "Gerda and Gai".
That's right, the wife of the transgender painter in "The Danish Girl" is also named Gerda, is it a coincidence? She was only a supporting role, but she turned the story into a fairy tale.
Aisne is a well-known painter, handsome and shy, with a slightly shy temperament.
After a near-naughty proposal from his wife, he put on stockings and stroked the gauze skirt, and Lily in his heart began to wake up.
Wearing women's clothes at the banquet reflects the panic, excitement and desire of the female characters, and gradually can't stop.
In the end, the male consciousness completely faded, and the physical and psychological unity became a woman.
He was brave, in a time that was far less tolerant than it is today. He was beaten in the street for being gay, nearly imprisoned as schizophrenic, and a previous man just like him escaped before surgery. Although he eventually died from surgery, his courage and action for his rights inspired many.
Keigo Higashino's novel "Unrequited Love" describes the lives of a large number of men and women with gender identity disorders. Most of them live in cross-dressing, cutting ties with former classmates and friends, or finding solace in same-sex bars. In the book, it is said that men and women are like men and women are like the front and back of the Mobius ring. The front will become the negative without knowing it, and the front and back are closely connected. Everyone in the world is on this Mobius ring. There is no complete Men and complete women. Everyone has more than one Mobius ring, some part is male and the other part is female, which is the case of ordinary people.
In short, no matter how ladylike a girl is, she also hides a female side.
No matter how strong a straight man is, he also has his feminine moments.
And apart from a person's skin, it is really hard to say whether he is a man or a woman in terms of self-identification.
Before the gender reassignment surgery, Venus did a psychological test sheet with more than 1,000 questions. If the answers are 60% correct, you have a female tendency, but you are not suitable for surgery; after 75 points, you are biased towards women, and you can pass The treatment was corrected; after 80 points, it basically reached the female standard, and the surgery could be done. Venus's score was 94 and doctors considered her perfectly suitable for surgery.
Had this test been put in Aina's hands, I'd imagine it would have been the same. Although he once worked hard to be a "normal" man and marry a wife like a "normal" man, he still discovered the other side of himself, Lily, under a small incentive, that is his true self.

A man with gender identity disorder, if he does not change his gender, must rely on cross-dressing to show what he wants, and he will never be able to sleep with his lover and have his own children like a real woman. I think this is why people with gender identity disorder end up having sex reassignment surgery regardless of the pain risks.
Not to mention Aina, the first person to eat crabs without any successful precedent. But even greater I think is his wife, Gerda.
When she found that her husband had become obsessed with women's clothing and was ashamed to reveal it, she did not blame or despise, but repeatedly asked and tested his heart.
When Aina was conflicted and helpless about her gender, she took Aina to see a doctor.
When the doctor thought Aina was crazy, she hugged Lily, who was once her husband, again and again, and understood his helplessness.
She didn't want to lose her husband, and she didn't want to make Aina feel wronged, so in the process of trying to find her husband, she went to find her husband's old friends and accompany Lily to force a smile. She was in pain and despair, because the person beside her was the same one, but she lost him forever.
And when the husband finally decided to be a woman, she took his hand and said yes to the doctor. Although he was lonely, he rejected Hans's offer of love. Although he stopped Lily from the hasty second operation, he accompanies her to her bedside again.
With tears in her eyes, Gerda said desperately, "Can you work hard for me once." I think Lily is too selfish, but think about it, anyone who pursues absolute freedom has to live up to some people and some things. What makes them great is the emotion and sacrifice behind them that have been let down.
When the whole world thinks you're going left, I know you're going right. I used to think it was just a frivolous oath, but Gerda and Lily were clearly like that.
Lily said when she was dying: How can I have such love. I burst into tears, Gerda in "The Danish Girl" is just like the little Gerda in Andersen's writings.
Lily said that he had a dream that he was a baby, and his mother called to her in the swaddling clothes: Lily. Her time as a full woman was too short, but she died with no regrets.
Gerda ended up flying off Lily's scarf where she grew up as a child. Flying over the Veele Fjord is the freedom of a brave man who used his life to be himself, and the fulfillment of another great woman.
