I came here after watching the newer film, but I like this more. The conversations are more important, there's no positioning of Agnes as a liar, and I feel like there are more talks based on the transcripts.

Does anyone know a platform where to watch the whole framing agnes film?

It has only recently been completed. You could enquire with the distributor: th-cam.com/video/kX_4TLFX5v8/w-d-xo.html, but it will probably make the rounds at a few festivals before it is available online.

Was it that difficult to get an actual youth transitioner to play the first youth transitioner in history who started taking hormones from the age of 12 in the 1950s? Instead every MTF backstory that goes like 'oh I knew I was different from the age of 4' but end up doing nothing until they're 25 or older, Agnes was a person with agency and initiative who took matters into her own hands and experimented with hormones to bring the female pubertal changes that she wanted.
