Mmmm, I was watching that Bruce Lee movie based on his life. I love that movie but I haven't watched it in years, it feels different watching it now that I see myself as a girl.
I remember that movie introduced me to Bruce Lee, I sorta looked up to him since he was a strong asian male character. I watched that movie again and I still feel that way. It stresses me out, it's making me question myself and my GID. Is it weird that I'm still concerned about the way the media portrays asian men? Or stereotypes in general? When I was younger, I wanted to be a non-stereotypical role model for asian men, being trans sorta interferes with that. I was supressing my GID back then, I'm not sure how I feel about that thought now.
I liked the dialogue between Bruce and Linda, especially on their date, I want a boyfriend like that, but it also made me jealous. I'm trans. What guy would want me and treat me like that? I really feel upset that I'm not a real woman. Sure, I see guys at my school and wonder what could've been, but I just get over it. Now I just don't want to deal with all this.
I noticed Linda had some broad shoulders. ;D That kinda helps.
That's it, I just wanted to make a post about it, cuz after watching that movie, I feel soo stressed out. On another note, Jason Scott Lee is (was) a sexy beast. :angel:
There's nothing weird about your concern for how Asians of any gender are portrayed. I'm sure Asian women are just as concerned with how the men of their community are portrayed as they are the women.
And just you wait - there will be a guy like that for you. :)
