It's been repeated now for the last couple of hours. Even though I feel she doesn't help any trans that may not want to be viewed as trans, I still have the up most respect for what she is doing and can feel for many of the things she goes through. Like many in her same situation, I could never hate or think that they do not have the same right as I do. They have had the same damn dysphoria I have all my life....and maybe even worse.
She is not trying to portray a feminine woman or a man she herself even said she's not sure where to put herself. I guess this is one of the huge differences between her, others like her and myself. I do not want to be nor do I feel anything less than a woman....well unless I look in between my legs UGH!!
I just think these docu's do more harm than good....even though that may not be there intention. If I wanted someone to know more about what I have gone through I can't think of a single docu that could portray it. I know we all are different, but it seems so many in these docu's seem to emphasize more importance of wearing female clothing than the many other aspects that are much more important.....like voice, posture, gestures....its not that they need to fake these...that's something I refused to do also. But they should at least try to not be as muscular of ones.
The part that his dad was gendering her male, consistently....I would of allowed that to be aired once and then told him that he will gender me correctly the rest of the show or his part of the story will not be told. But I also have the feeling she may not care as much....I know early on this was not a huge concern of mine either....mostly because I didn't want to shove my transition down peoples throat. Now I am at the point of telling people close to me that still say it at times that It is not acceptable!!
