"she had a change of heart and is now struggling with the fact that lawrence is pregnant" I don't know why I had to laugh, but it's one step at a time for penny.

[@urbex_coasters]

I'm trans and I'll admit it's still one I struggle with but that's as an asexual who is never having kids because 1) I want to see the world, not be tied down by "adulting", a kid would basically make my lifestyle impossible and tie me down to "gotta raise them somewhere" 2) I personally wouldn't bring a kid into this world with climate change. Won't judge anyone for doing so but I just personally won't.

As a trans guy, I cant imagine getting pregnant. That'd make me so dysphoric and upset. But if you can deal with that, that's a fucking power move.

[@MaskedImposter]

Ultimate Dad bod.

[@_BlackwhiteWings_]

As a trans kid, I used to be fascinated with pregnancy, but as I grew up, went through puberty and eventually realized I was fertile and capable of pregnancy myself, as a trans man, I developed tokophobia. It honestly gets worse and worse every day. I can't look a seahorse dad straight in the eye without feeling dysphoric and nauseous, even though I know that's a horrible thing to think, and I know I don't have the rights, nor am I in the place to decide that, but in my opinion, trans men shouldn't get pregnant or birth.

[@perfidiousprophet]

@_BlackwhiteWings_ I'm also tokophobic but people have the right to do whatever they want with their bodies. It's great you're acknowledging that, but you've gotta work out some of that inner stuff out

[@soulcross]

This is actually one of my favorite endings. Because it shows that you don’t need to be over the top to show support. Nor do you need to understand the topic entirely. Allowing it to just be, to just exist. It’s as she said “I just don’t know” and it’s okay to not know, it’s okay to not understand how you feel yet, because not knowing means that you’re thinking, you’re reflecting, and that’s better than blindly hating. That was a great short film, amazing job to everyone involved. 👏

I like that you had Penny learn and grow over time instead of automatically accepting it. It shows that shes actually taking time to learn about our community and our experiences and that acceptance is a learned behavior.

[@emmap.9064]

OH LORD I'm so happy I had wanted to watch this short film as soon as I saw the trailer, and I must say I am so happy it to have watched it, it's amazing! (Just a bummer I didn't receive the notification and had to find out about it 4 days later, ugh) It's honestly amazingly well made, I love the little references here and there and how much you've conveyed in such a short amount of time. I don't know if it was intentional, but Penny having to overcome the fence in between their yards to come to Chloe's side (and her struggling to do so but pushing through to go help a neighbour- no, a friend) was really emotional for me. I just wish my mum had this moment for my brother. Anyway, the only thing I'm a bit bummed about is that we never got to hear Penny actually apologise. A line along the way of "I'm sorry Chloe, I now understand how my words may have hurt you. I was in the wrong, and I'm sorry." Other than that, it was amazing! A real rollercoaster of emotions (from anger, to sadness, fear, and finally reconciliation), truly a great short film!
