I not only hear your anger, I've had reason to share it.
I know it doesn't cover what you're talking about, but for what it's worth, I'm sorry (in the sympathetic sense) that you've been so shatteringly poorly treated. You deserve, and deserved, better.
I feel exactly as you do about "trans" movies: I've seen very few. The very outline of Hedwig sounds awful to me. Boys Don't Cry would be triggering, extremely. The Crying Game, same. Whatever the big one was a year ago, everybody keeps telling me I should see, I'm like, why in fuck would I want to see a sad movie that lays out a gentle, Hollywood-ized version of what I've already traumatically experienced once, at risk of my life?
So yah...glad they're being made, not going to watch 'em.
