I was wathing a movie yesterday called "kun en pige (just a girl)"
its based on a real story about a girl growing up around second world war where men had the power and she had to fight to the same acceptence.
the movie is very hetronormative in the way it decribes realety in the old days, where men should be men and women women. but it also view those types who dosent fit well in the steryotypes. in one of the last scene of the movie, she goes to germany, where she mets an dragqueen/trans*woman who make preformance, who tells her.
"why dont you do what you want to do?"
"cause im a woman"
the trans*person take on her wig an says "so am I" after that scene the movies end with her going back to denmark and cutting the bonds with her father and moving to copenhagen to keep on her work as a jounalist, her father dosent belive she can do that as a girl but since its a biography of a famours jounalist/author we know she is to be very famours"
well I liked it, and I was scared to watch it at first because its so cisnormative that I feared it would give me dyshoria but insteed I felt entertained and I got abit curious on seeing this very hetronormative, yet kinda sceptical picture on gender norms and those who didnt fit in.
I have also watched the matrix and Xmen who neither is about trans people, yet theres some queer thinking in them.
something about fitting in, or being diffrence, acceptence and unacceptence which I can reconize in the trans activism.
there all great movies but I feel there better when you can reflext them with yourself or your own life.

what kind of movies have you seen where you felt something trans related without it being a transmovie?
