My dysphiria was compounded with shame & low esteem about being Trans.

[@TransMatters]

There's light on the other side of that tunnel though :)

Amazing film , it put me in touch with aspects of myself, and confirmed others.
What lovely brave people, all of them! Thank you.

[@TransMatters]

Glad you liked it :)

It was nice to hear genuine talk of dysphoria for once.... I've not had a lot of trans people I've met really talk about it. I totally understand not feeling comfortable to talk about it, but it's nice to know you're not alone. 😔

They are having a codependant relationship with themself, hence dysfunction with virtually everything. Just like a person caught up in anorexia nervosa or an alcoholic they act out in ways of avoidance.
You mentioned not alone.
Look at the words alone, honesty, lonely, and abandoned.
These words all share at least one thing. At least one.

[@TransMatters]

Grow up.

[@callmeRaii]

I must know where they got their pretty boi hat from. I want it.
No I need it.
But on a deeper level, this video is beautifully shot and beautifully edited.

[@karalynemccormack5812]

Yeah, you already said that. It was inaccurate the first time around as well

[@alisabristleface]

That is one strange, twisted and convoluted theory!

[@revelry_96]

This is such a beautiful and deeply affirming video. Everyone involved should be really proud of themselves for their openness and sharing their journeys 🩵
*I only wish they would flash everyone’s pronouns on the screen so we know.

[@jesscrooks8266]

We considered it briefly in the editorial stage but felt it took away from what we’re trying to say in this film. Will consider it again for the next one mind you :)

[@revelry_96]

@@jesscrooks8266 That makes sense :) pronouns aren’t permanent. Thank you for responding!

[@karalynemccormack5812]

Do they really matter anyway? I mean, its nice to know someones Pronouns when conversing cos it lets you know what they wish to be addressed as. But if you're not gonna be talking to them anyways, then theres no need or value in it. I think pronouns can often encourage undue prejudices, often unintended and unconciously (as can Nationality, Race, Gender, etc). No need to create complications if they have no beneficial value.

@@karalynemccormack5812 If you're talking about them, eg in the comments, it can be useful. But if you don't know, you can just use they/them
