Very haunting at times too, theres this one scene that lingered in my head for weeks. Fantastic movie, highly reccomended.

If I had my way every domicile in human history would have one of these and a pair of decks.

There's something about the smugness and enightened centrism that makes it somehow more enraging than the mask-off queerphobia found elsewhere. To be clear, shame on the person who made the video. Its one thing to have internalized queerphobia, and its another thing entirely to put that out into the world and try to position yourself as "one of the good gays".

It was pretty bad and handled the subject matter extremely poorly. I hated it a lot.

The premise is strong, a summer camp lasher flick but the camp is for "conversion therapy". However it manages to be transphobic, homophobic, and enbyphobic even outside of the scenes of adults abusing queer children. Theres a lot of that "oh theyre queerphobic but actually theyre secretly gay haha gotcha!" bullshit. Theres this femboy guy who plays this femme fatale role, iirc he was one of the camp's "success stories" and he really didnt deserve to get got IMO. At the end the murderer turns out be a victim of the camp from a couple decades back and the teenage protagonist lectures this mindfucked middle aged lesbian about how revenge is wrong and that, if you think about it she's worse than the child abusers (and occasionally murderers) that she killed... because reasons?

It was cool that the protag was a transmasc nonbinary person, you don't get to see that kind of representation very often. Too bad they are an incredibly boring character. I think this movie was made for straight liberals to watch and go "look at those bad people! Good thing Im not like them!" Meanwhile some of these scenes will personally resonate with a queer audience in ways that are uncomfortable at best and triggering at worst. The thing is it's very competently made and at no point does it even approach "so bad its good" territory.

There's some evidence to suggest that cis women have greater color perception than cis men do. You are not the only transfem that has attested to this and you won't be the last either, it happened to me too. There are anecdotes about the reverse happening with people on FTM HRT, so there may be something to it. Too bad there's no way to quantify the change unless one were to have already taken some visual acuity test with a color component pre-HRT.

Yeah it's really weird how many things they sell at that exact price point.
