poetic justice

Sometimes God gives us what we need so we can learn. Yes, even in Trump country...

  1. The mother refers to "we" when explaining parenting decisions regarding Kai's behavior early-on, yet I see no sign of any other parent. I wonder what happened to the father. If he's out of the picture because he couldn't be accepting, then thank God he went away!

    1. I thought the same thing or else he was too embarrassed to be in the film. If he left then good riddance!

    2. When the camera panned across the table with the family picture on it, there was only the mother and children shown. Kai seems to be too well adjusted to be living with even an embarrassed father around, though.

“A new hairdo, walking in heels and a glowing tan are among the things that make a woman feel sexy. Freshly applied lipstick, newly-shaved legs and a little black dress also have a positive effect on the psyche”

Are you surprised? I’m not because it is exactly the same list that makes transgender women feel sexy.

For a long time the idea was pandered about that transsexualism was rooted exclusively in aberrant sexuality. But of course you cannot separate the sexuality from the individual because that forms part of their overall makeup and the fact that genetic and transsexual women overlap here surprises no one.

We should also add here that women aren't always thinking about sex and neither are transgender women.

Pre transition transsexuals would not readily admit they found these things sexy because they were afraid to be seen as perverted men in front of gatekeepers who understood nothing about their condition.
