    just saw i saw the tv glow. the best trans movie i've ever seen, never felt more seen by a movie. sitting in the theater as the credits roll and just crying because that could have been me

    effort post coming later, genuinely mandatory viewing if you're transfem or questioning

        it's not really horror? it's a tragedy. i mean it's horrifying, but it isn't scary

        the real horror

        is the main character just living her life presenting as male forever, too scared to transition

      shit, I had no idea this was a trans movie, now I gotta see it.

      A24 really coming in hot with the queer rep this year, releasing a lesbian movie and a trans movie back to back.

        cannot emphasize enough how good this movie is as a trans movie

            no it's explicitly trans but in ways where it's really hard to talk about without spoiling. more details coming soon, once i'm done figuring out how to write about this

            very vague spoilers

            the main character is trans but closeted and too scared to transition, and spends the movie talking around this fact. but it's the text of the movie even though those words are never explicitly said

        yes

        you should do it though, it will wreck you

        spoiler

        you should meet the main character where she's at, she's also boymoding the whole time!
