"I don't want to be a role model, I just want to be a girl"

Really moved by this father. Considering the protagonist completely from the perspective of physical health, without any discrimination and impatience, or being able to speak, telling the protagonist "you are already a girl" over and over again, it is really too gentle. Several quarrels between the father and daughter could not find fault. Lara blindly reported the good news instead of the bad because of her impatience. She hoped that the operation would be completed as soon as possible. The father and daughter lacked communication, and the father was anxious. He asked Lara over and over again about the current situation, but it caused her even more pressure. The real situation is very similar to me and my mother, no one is right, but everyone is too worried - we can't live as the same person after all.

And so do classmates. In fact, there is a passage in the middle that I have been curious about whether it can be regarded as school violence. It's the part where the girls ask Lara to show them their genitals together. I thought it was too much at first, but then the black-haired girl said, "So what gender do you want to be treated as?" Seeing the protagonist admit in a twisted manner, "I want to be treated as a woman." I suddenly felt so serious The serious tone probably also gave the protagonist the strength to move forward without hesitation.

The protagonist also has many contradictions. I have to praise the protagonist's acting is too good. From the beginning, he was hesitant, confused and unconfident, and then after taking hormones for the first time, there is a scene that I remember deeply: the elevator The people inside smiled, and the whole person gradually became more confident. Later, I felt restless that my body did not change, and the dance was at a bottleneck. Whenever the protagonist danced with music, because of the loud gasping sounds of blood and fatigue and the super-close camera, the pain was overwhelming, and it made people feel that she was going down at any time. It will fall down in a second. But she finally stood up. When I saw Lara smiling happily at the curtain call, I sometimes wondered, will she regret not being able to bring her a complete female body when she grows up? But anyway, she has become a girl.

To be honest, this movie is still very constructive. After watching it, I suddenly had a small idea: maybe for many people with gender cognitive impairment, the real problem is not the gender reassignment surgery, but to make them believe that they have metamorphosis. In fact, the movie has always hinted that people around Lara knew she was transgender from the beginning, but they all took into account Lara's emotions, so they didn't say it explicitly. However, even if they seemed to accept or not care, Lara's unease was all failed to reduce. Only when Lara completely cut off her past in an almost extreme way, she actually cut off the thorn in her heart. Since then she has really gained confidence. Therefore, perhaps for her, the real important thing is not the operation, nor the "perfect copy of the female body", but the peace of mind. She just wanted people to admit she was a girl.
