Before the movie, I didn't know that there were boys at 7 or 8 who thought they were girls -- "gender dysphoria"
During the movie, I thought, how can you know what it means to have gender x or y at age 7 or 8? Isn't it more like being told: you're a boy, you have a penis. And the consequences, all the stuff with the dolls, the clothes, the long hair comes after, step by step? And why does the mother say "Madmoiselle" and not "Sasha"?
After the film, while listening to the director, a present, calm, sensitive man, I thought, maybe there really is such a thing such as a child becoming irreversibly attached to the opposite sex.
In the end, I believe that most of the problems of "gender dysphoria" would be obsolete if we would stop forcing gender stereotypes on children at an early age.
