Indescribable Difficulties



After watching the whole thing, I have to say that I'm on the guy's side. I can imagine how difficult it is to live through discrimination. It's an emotionally painful watch.

Normally, I'm against sex change. But there's someone in my life who was in a similar position. Not as emotionally destructive as the above, of course; it's positive, even. I was guilty of the same narrow-mindedness as that blasted father in the show above, but without the same intensity. I had thought it was a "nurture" issue, not a "nature" issue. Eventually, I changed my mind.

The guy is of an unhealthy mindset when constantly blaming his parents for his plight, but beneath all that emotional display, I feel that there lies a soul that needs unconditional acceptance, free of judgment.

Sometimes, that's all that's needed for people to move on.
