xxy is: congenital testicular hypoplasia. The patient's karyotype was 47,xxy. There are also 1/3 human karyotype 46, xy/47, xxy chimera. May have one normal testis and be fertile. It has the characteristics of an intersex person and has two sets of sexual organs at the same time. Generally speaking, intersex fertility is biased towards females.
Alice, the protagonist of this film, is a xxy (I don't call it a "patient"). He could have been born with an operation to make him one of the sexes, but his father eventually reserved the option for him. And such a person who has both sex organs is not recognized by normal social groups. They are seen as "monsters", "abnormal" and so on. As he grew older, the conflict became more apparent. Social and personal, physical and psychological. Her parents raised her as a girl, using estrogen, and now at the age of 15, he has entered puberty, he has stopped taking drugs, and his physical and psychological choices seem to be more male. At this time, the intense conflict caused the mother to invite a plastic surgeon in the city to try to operate on him without telling the family. He befriends the surgeon's son, and one day he sodomizes the doctor's son. Then he shrank to the ground and cried, how sad and hopeless he was, how powerless he was facing his body.
The doctor's son is gay. Before that, he didn't seem to have found his correct psychological gender position. After being raped by Alice, I found out that I liked it. When he proposed to Alice to do it again, Alice refused without hesitation. Because "what you like is not what I want". What Alice wants is love for herself, whether she is a man or a woman. And maybe he just needs to enjoy the pleasure of his position, and while it can be a kind of love, it's not what Alice wants.
One day, what the family feared happened. Alice is attacked by a group of men who forcefully remove his pants to satisfy their curiosity. Then one of them came up with the idea of "trying out" other sexual functions and enforced it. Alice struggled hard and endured the intense pain of being raped in her mind and body. Although her friend appeared in time to save him at this time, his heart was severely damaged.
Dad went to the person who had undergone sex reassignment surgery for the first time, and the person said to him, "The most terrifying thing you can do to a child is to make him afraid of his own body." Yes, Alice was indelibly, deeply hurt by her "special". The cause of the injury is "not being recognized". Although his parents have been constantly moving to minimize the damage to him, in this social environment, people's gender consciousness cannot be changed, and one day, he will inevitably be hurt.
Dad said that when he first saw Alice, he thought he was the most flawless. It was also Dad who reserved the right to choose his own gender for him. But now Dad is also starting to reflect on whether it is right or wrong to do so. Yeah, in my eyes, Alice is flawless too. We have been chosen by birth, so we can no longer choose our gender. Or to put it another way, we are incomplete, and having dual genders at the same time is not a completeness?
There are a few dialogues in the film that I am deeply touched. "Do you like your parents?" "Because they are my parents." "Dad, do you like me?" "You are my son." If not parents, would you still love them? If not siblings, do you still love them? If not a woman, would you still love me? Would you still love if it wasn't a person?
Alice asked these questions repeatedly, just like his body, which could not be affirmed.
Maybe the ending is good, Alice rejects the love of the cowardly doctor's son. Alice asked her father if she called the police about the boys who violated her. The father said that if she called the police, everyone would know, and it was up to Alice to decide. Then Alice said, let them all know go.
Maybe this is not the end. Because this social environment is still that kind of attitude, a face, called "rejection". xxy, xyy, in this world, their road is still difficult to walk.
