I've been to Thailand, I've met ladyboys, and I've seen hermaphroditism.
But that kind of boys and girls can't do without the blessing of heavy makeup and fancy clothes.
As a big fan of Kangxi, I also watched the show and invited a lot of Ladyboys (or pseudo-girls) as guests, such as kewibaby, Huang Yali, etc. They are very bold in words and deeds, and Taiwan is really much more open. But as Xiao S said, like her cousin, it can be seen that it is a man dressed as a woman.
But the face in the movie below is actually a boy.
I can't recognize it anyway.
The stills are from last year's well-known niche movie "Girls".
The director and starring are both Belgian, and both are their film debuts.
The film has won numerous awards at Cannes, including the Caméra d'Or (Director's Debut), Un Certain Regard Best Actor, Fabisi (International Critics' Award), and the Queer Palme d'Or. It was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award for the best foreign language film in the film category, also participated in the Pingyao International Film Festival in China, and was awarded the most popular film in the film festival.
The subject matter of the film belongs to the T in LGBT, that is, Transgender (transgender).
LGB only refers to sexual orientation, and T seems to be much more complicated. Transgender is also different from Transsexual (transsexual), but it seems that it is not very clear for the time being.
A person who is psychologically unable to identify with the gender he was born with and believes that he should belong to another gender should be the so-called transgender.
This is the case with Lara, the protagonist of "Girls". His original name is Victor, and he is about to turn 16 (foreigners do look more mature), but he thinks he should be "she", and with the support of his father, he has started sex reassignment surgery Getting ready, taking hormones, taking regular injections, growing long hair, wearing women's clothes, Lara's eyes and brows are all very girly.
Lara has a ballet dream, but she started too late and needs to endure more hardships to be officially accepted by the ballet school.
My father respects and supports "her" very much, and usually treats "her" as a girl, and moves and changes jobs for "her". "She" also has a 6-year-old brother, but no mother at home.
Belgium is a highly developed capitalist country with good national welfare. I didn't see "she" working so hard to raise money for this operation, and the medical institutions are also very professional and responsible; the level of civilization is also relatively high, and I didn't see "she" because she was a male. Being bullied and discriminated against by pretending to be a woman. Therefore, the whole film has nothing to do with blood and blood, and Lara does not have much history of blood and tears to gain acceptance from the outside world. Lara's pressure mainly comes from her own identity.
The film mainly shows how Lara got rid of a man's body step by step and turned into a girl. Every step of this makes the audience feel pain when watching the movie.
Piercing your own ears is the lightest pain.
In order to wear a ballet suit and not reveal her crotch, Lara will use tape to stick her lower body tightly. When tearing the tape, the pain, sweating and airtightness also lead to inflammation of the lower body skin.
Lara is still not sure whether she likes a boy or a girl. When she meets a boy she likes, she tries to get close after several struggles. After kissing, she is still afraid that the boy will touch her body and find out the truth. Live the bloodstain.
Lara practiced ballet hard. In order to gain the teacher's approval, she was reluctant to stop when her toes were bruised and bleeding. Lara is not afraid of physical suffering, and even physical suffering can bring comfort and hope to "her" and make "her" feel closer to becoming a girl.
Lara still can't get rid of the inferiority complex caused by male sexual characteristics. She can't wait for sex reassignment surgery, and uses extreme means of self-cutting, but before the action, "she" called the police so that she could be rescued.
Lara would say a few words in the face of her father's excessive concern and inquiries, but in general, her personality is gentle and cheerful, although she doesn't talk much.
Lara is down-to-earth at family gatherings and willing to blend in with the crowd. After the transfer, the teacher asked "her" to close her eyes in class, and then asked the other students in the class if they agreed with Lara to use the women's locker room. Although Lara frowned slightly, she did not appear too embarrassed. He will also take the initiative to sit with classmates and respond politely to the conversations of others.
Although Lara behaved cautiously in ballet class, she did not hesitate when she needed to practice with a boy partner. , but the other girls were talking and laughing, "she" was tormented against the wall to avoid, the shower head was not spraying water, but like a local rainstorm.
But it is impossible to treat without discrimination at all. Lara and other ballet girls travel, "she" is arranged to live in a room alone, while other girls are crowded in a room even if they play the floor. Lara encountered the most extreme treatment after wearing a one-piece swimsuit and playing with other girls. The girls always have a lot of fun when they get together. They are curious about Lara's lower body and force "her" to take off her pants to show it. Lara counts She refused the first time, but finally complied. She felt humiliated, but didn't cry.
The aggrieved appearance of tears on the subway after leaving early for an excuse makes people feel more and more pitiful.
Speaking of which, Lara is much luckier than many transgender people. She has no family pressure, and her social vision is not vicious. She has the opportunity to undergo gender reassignment surgery, and she has found a spiritual support early. It's just that "her"'s own psychological predicament gradually made "her"'s health not meet the requirements for surgery, and "she" was eager to complete her sexual transformation, and finally resorted to self-mutilation.
Although Lara performed very well, although it was the first time an amateur was electrocuted, her performance was naturally vivid and sincere. But what I feel most deeply is Lara's father.
Such a father figure is easily reminiscent of the father in the same LGBT film "Call Me By Your Name".
Understand and support the child's mind, pay attention to distinguish whether the child is "unwilling to say" or "don't know", the first starting point of concern is the child's physical and mental health, and affectionate companionship is the warmest love - such an enlightened father I am afraid there will be no such thing in China.
Father: You don't know how brave you are, you know, you are already an example to others.
Lara: I don't want to be a role model, I just want to be a girl.
Director Lucas DeHoot and star Victor Polster are newcomers to the film industry, and there are few personal profiles online.
In terms of film language, the movement of the film is very successful, without the jerky and timidity of the debut. When showing Lara's pain, I used a lot of close-ups to focus on Lara's feet, legs, face, and lower body. In the ballet scene, I used a lot of sports shots. Ballet itself is a movement of beauty and abuse, and Lara's body And the will is also remodeled in beauty and abuse.
The director asked us to watch Lara's reaction carefully, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, drowned his head and drank water, swirled in tears, almost fainted, and then screamed.
In the end, Lara, who had worked hard and worked hard, wore high heels and walked demurely and confidently on the sidewalk.
"She" was finally her.
