My wife and I went to my trans-gender support group’s movie day yesterday (Sunday) to see “Different For Girls” and so that she could meet everyone. They’re a really good bunch and the movie was fun. I have to say though that of all the TG/TS movies I’ve seen this is the last one I could show to any of my old childhood guy pals. If you haven’t seen the movie you might be wondering why. Well, the movie is about two pals from school who meet later in life after one has had SRS and they fall in love…gulp. Oh, and in case you’re wondering– yes, my friends are, by and large, almost completely immature.
Pronouns. Up until this point in my life I haven’t given them much thought. Using them has been pretty much reflexive and automatic. This is not the case at TG/TS event and I often worry afterwards if I screwed up and used words like he/she and him/her inappropriately. MUST…USE…BRAIN…WHEN…SPEAKING! I don’t THINK I’ve screwed up yet but I’m worried I have or that I’m going to. Blargh.
The next movie is going to be “Southern Comfort”. No, not THAT “Southern Comfort”. When I saw the announcement I was like “hey, I saw that movie and I don’t think it’s exactly on topic!” It turns out, however, that there is another movie by the same name that IS on topic. It looks interesting but sad. I have to say that when movies hit this close to home I prefer them to have happy endings!
