What struck me the most was that Alex's father said that from the first time I saw her, she was perfect. His child was special, but he was very proud and tried his best to protect her and encourage her.
In contrast, another family, a first-class surgeon father said to his son, I only like you a little, you have no talent, and there is no way you will have it in the future. That son is so pitiful, even if he is a "normal person", he is far less happy than the "monster" Alex. His homosexuality is also destined not to be accepted by his father (he is a weak 0).
Parents of intersex and homosexual children generally have feelings of shame and shame for their children, which are the reasons why they are reluctant to face their children's female tendencies. For this kind of inexplicable guilt and shame, the movie gives its own answer, that is, it is not your fault to have a child of intersex, and it is not up to you to decide, what you can do is to choose the right treatment for him/ her way.
Before, I often saw news that intersex people chose their gender and then underwent surgery to become single-sex people. I thought that hermaphroditism was like a cleft lip, which seemed to be a problem that could be solved by surgery. However, the movie shows us the confusion of that choice and makes us think whether there is another option, that is, not to make a choice, and no longer use drugs and surgery to change who we are.
The actor played the role of alex very attractively, and the allure of intersex people made her more dignified and proud.
