Watched this documentary yesterday and it really made an impact inside. I got the strength to keep on continuing to fight for my rights and not to submit to the humiliating process in this country, which has also been condemned by the human right organizations and which is not according to the EU recommendation, made few weeks ago.

The documentary also contained thoughts about the LGBTQ+ movement, which I´ve been thinking inside my little head, but haven´t said out aloud, due to the fear of the backlash that it causes in certain people.

The greatest thing I guess is, that to me it seemed, that Marsha nor Sylvia didn´t really care for the terms, they call themselves whatever term comes across their mind. I wish I could reach that place, where I just don´t care for the terms anymore.

To me it was an eye opening documentary, to see who fought for my rights that I am even allowed to say transgender in public place, that I even have a work place, that I even have at least somekind of human rights.
