Around 2007 and 2008, I especially liked to watch "Cold and Warm Life" hosted by Chen Xiaonan. When I watched "Boys Don't Cry", I remembered a program that left a deep impression on me. Now I can't remember what that issue was called, the protagonist was a "man" from a small southern town. On the show, he is brave and true, and is a typical image of a man. Slightly fat, with a flat head, he was the first "gender identity disorder" I knew through the media. Back in the 1990s, when I could still receive Phoenix TV at home, I watched Wu Xiaoli's interview with Jin Xing. At that time, she had already undergone the initial sex reassignment surgery, but the term "gender identity disorder" did not exist at that time. I heard this term for the first time in Chen Xiaonan's "Cold and Warm Life". At that time, I thought of Jin Xing. In fact, she should have undergone gender reassignment surgery because of her gender identity incompatibility. People called them "transsexuals". Now, the more scientific term should be "transgender." It is said that the chance of being born transgender is one in tens of millions (there may be discrepancies, this statement was said in the program at the time, the memory is not very accurate, and it was not found on Baidu), even if it is one in ten million, Whoever falls on it, the chance is 100%, and Tina is 100% of that choice. In the documentary about him, his mother hopes to subjectively lead the audience to believe that Tina is "sick", that his gender identity disorder is formed the day after tomorrow, and even in order to correct this disease, his uncle will impose on him rape. Perhaps without scientific knowledge, ordinary people think that a normal sexual act can sort out gender identity, but what they don't know is that most of the harm in this world is in the name of love.
Over time, resentment against those who committed atrocities is not the driving force of social progress. If I had watched this movie ten years ago, I would have only felt very sad. At that time, the society's understanding of these so-called heresies and perverts was not comprehensive enough and not scientific enough. Today, scientific knowledge, even if it's just superficial, can be obtained from the Internet. You can learn from it, but for people like Tina, the situation has not improved much. That’s because people are still stubborn and refuse to learn and accept. Science is not enough, and prejudice sometimes hinders cognition. , like you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep. If someone has to use the so-called "right" to view the world and sort out those "wrongs", you cannot instill the so-called tolerance of the so-called science into his head.
One such person I know recently is called Liu Ting. Although her family was in pain, she finally accepted her transformation and made her a girl completely, realizing the unity of her inner world and her outer image. Fortunately for her, Tina has been dead for more than 20 years, and there are always people who teach people the diversity of life at the cost of their lives.
While writing this article, I looked up information on "gender cognitive impairment" from Baidu, and the Baidu entry even openly called it "disease". Many years ago, homosexuality also seemed to be regarded as a disease, and society was progressing. The greatest manifestation of progress is to allow individuals to become individuals and to allow people to live according to their own ideas. I know it's hard, and maybe this ideal will never be achieved every day that human society exists. Perhaps, from the micro level to the individual, you can only do more to accept and understand people in this world. The reason why people are people is that people have feelings and warmth, not because they are men or women. In the face of real emotion, gender seems to be negated. To understand Tina, you should first know that he is not gay. Just like the man in Chen Xiaonan's show, although he is very poor and can't afford sex reassignment surgery, he has worked hard for many years and saved a little bit of money to fulfill his life dream and make himself himself. He told the host that men should take responsibility again. As Tina said in the movie: I'm going to marry her, this time I'm serious. In the mind of a transgender person, there is no hesitation about gender, and he will subconsciously think about things in the gender he thinks. At the same time, physical limitations only make them more disgusted with the hair and skin of their parents.
The man in "Cold and Warm Life" found the woman he loved and worked hard to raise the woman and her children. They don't think they're gay, and in fact, they're not. Unfortunately, after the show ended, the woman left him because she couldn't stand the public opinion. Chen Xiaonan also asked that sensitive question. I remember he replied that his lover said that as long as there is a family and warmth to live with, those things are not important. In "Boys Don't Cry," Kimberly Pierce took longer than usual to show Lana's orgasm, which seems to explain it. Sex life with transgender people doesn't have to be terrible. This, as a lesbian director, should still have the right to speak.
Sometimes, you don't hurt others, but others just don't allow you. The same is true of Tina's life. If you pay attention enough, you will find that many gay and transgender lovers will encounter this kind of thing. They are forced to do things that hurt themselves. Homosexuals were beaten to death like college student Matt and shot like Milk. Such a generational blood incident is to win some living space and breathable air for these people who are different from most people.
I sometimes think that those extreme Muslims want all people to be exactly the same, to live and think according to the teachings that were formed thousands of years ago. That world is much simpler, and the rulers don’t even need to spend too much. What kind of contradictions do you have to deal with? Anyway, everything is in the frame, but is such a world really possible? And these steps are taken, what are the shouts of "different people" that have been exchanged for blood? The world is destined to be different because of people. Who can be the God of whom, and judge whom by whose moral standards? What is right and what is wrong? Although Tina only lived for more than 20 years and suffered more than happiness in these 20 years, he insisted on being himself and used his life to sing the praises of what makes a human being. No matter how short the tragic life is, it is still better than living in the correct way claimed by those who think they are gods. Even if you live for many more years, it will still be painful, sorry for yourself.
