This is what we need to see more of. A normalisation of trans love stories that just makes them... love stories. The story picks up on some important issues we face but it doesn't make it all about that. It's about these two teenagers falling in love in an adorable way. It also leaves so much room for trans joy!
It's well written, well acted, and the production values are much higher than I expected before I realised Billy Porter was behind this. Also yay for a racially diverse cast, although I would've loved to see people with disabilities represented as well.
All in all, I love the film. It's so important for trans kids to see themselves represented on the screen like this. And it's probably, definitely, healing something inside of us older trans folks too, showing us the teenagehood we should've gotten to experience. <3.
