My Transparent Life

Wow just wow! I had no idea about the struggle that people who are transgender go through every single day just to feel normal. From binding their breasts to taking hormones. From having traumatic surgeries to trying to get their parents and friends to accept them it seems to me that transgender people really live a life of struggle. The film is one of the most graphic things that I have seen in a long time but I think it was necessary so that viewers could really understand the epic struggle that transgender people face to become the sex that they believe that they should be. I have much more empathy for transgender people now and I hope millions of people around the world see this movie so that they can understand the transgender community better and support them anyway that they can.

This film answered all of the questions that I have ever had about what it is like to be a transgender person. Jesse and Stassi were very nice people and great choices for this movie because they decided to be very open an share everything about their private lives which included letting us see inside the operating theatre when Stassi had her breast augmentation surgery. It was nice to see that even though some of the family members did not support Jesse and Stassi see some of them did. Stassi's sister and Jesse's sister were both too amazing characters in this film and if they ever read this I want them to know that I think they are amazing and I wish I had a sister like them. Watch this movie if you have questions about being transgender and if you want add to learn how to support your friends and family members that may be going through this situation.

Watching this movie was very confronting for me because I have a brother who is transgender and while he was going through his childhood and expressing that he was a boy even though to me he was my sister I don't think that I was as supportive as I could have been. I used to tell him that he was crazy and to just relax and accept that he was a girl but now I see that I could have been much more supportive an I feel very lucky that he did not commit suicide or abandoned his family because we were basically rejecting him. The second the movie finished I called my brother and apologise to him for not being supportive and accepting him and now I want to do everything I can to rebuild his trust and let him know how much I love him. I hope their film helps other families with transgender members to learn how to support them correctly.

Transgender people seem to really struggle to be accepted which sucks because its 2022 people!! People should be able to do what they want and feel how they want. At the end of the day these people did not choose to be born in the wrong body. It happened to them and now they have to deal with it. Is having gender reassignment surgery the best possible option? I don't know. But what I do know after watching this film is that after having gender reassignment surgery people who are transgender feel a lot more comfortable in their bodies and this really helps them with their self esteem and also helps them to live normal lives as the gender that they were meant to be born as. I am grateful to the film makers for making this movie as it has really opened my eyes.

This is the most ridiculous excuse of a documentary I have ever seen. It's a narcissist's puff piece exploiting amazing trans representation with ignorance and a bunch of badly edited stock footage. Not only does the director misgender one of the stars - she misuses the word cisgender. She treats a mental health emergency like a sick opportunity to be entertained. She shows a friend a topless picture of one of the stars during her surgery without consent. WOULD YOU WANT SOMEONE SHOWING YOU TOPLESS IN SURGERY WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION? WHY WAS IT OKAY FOR YOU TO DO THAT TO A TRANS WOMAN?

She pretends to be on their side throughout intimate moments, even meeting one's child, watching their families cry - but little do they know she does not even believe in what they are doing. The head of an anti trans group gets more screen time than the stars during the climax of their journeys.

It feels like a queer person did not even touch this film. How can you claim to be a part of the community and misrepresent basic information and lack empathy? "Omg I have one trans friend, wanna make a movie?!" sounds about how all this started. The worst part is the director is too ignorant to even know what she has done to badly affect the community and everyone involved. You should be ashamed of yourself and burn every copy of this. I'm waiting for the cast to sue for misrepresentation.

P. S: The audio isn't in sync half the time. You misspelled the word psychologist. And by the way...there's also a typo in the opening text of the trailer. It's a complete joke.

I want to tell people to watch this so we can converse about how bad it is, but I don't want to give you the views.
