It is

[@chrisbj743]

Less than 30 minutes is a short film

[@Geeky.rainbow.vampire]

It is?

Oh finally, an MtF film. (Nothing against FtM, but it overpopulates MtF by far.)

[@Stephh99]

Agreed! I’m constantly seeking out mtf films and youtubers because though I love ftm’s to death, I want to broaden my horizons a bit more (Edit: typo ffs)

[@rosamelotti1203]

I agree

[@odetosleep8416]

As an FtM, I totally agree. When I watch short films on Ftm people I gain more courage to come out. The films also further help me to accept myself, so I think that if we had more MtF short films, more of these beautiful MtF's would have the courage to come out.

[@kaisquires5767]

Oh shit. You NEEEEEEED to watch one called "The Real Thing" if you haven't already!! (It's adorable)

The moment she smiled after changing her clothes and putting on the wig, that really struck a chord with me even though I’m FTM and I could never understand the situation from the opposite perspective, I’m happy for her

The parents who kick out a transsexual child are the same parents that would kick out a teenage girl who got pregnant before marriage.

[@daisychain3007]

How a father can throw out his child just because the child is transgender beats me. At the end of the day, his child is still his child. The father deserves to rot in hell. The so-called girlfriend is no better. She should have tried to be his friend and supported him.

I’m a trans girl and I went through the same thing with my family and friends. They thought I was a gay but I told them I’m a girl trapped in a boy’s body. They eventually accepted me and I was so overjoyed, except my dad. He doesn’t talk to me and will not accept me as his daughter. But my mom and brother support me 100%. I live full-time as a woman and currently on HRT.

[@user-bv3yy8sq3f]

That conversation... That she had with her dad when she was first discovered..... That was... So similar to the conversations I have with my stepmother.. Only, with her, she tends to like to bring up all the feminine things I liked as a child and how I'm too young and that people my age always end up making mistakes... Evidently she still thinks that it'll all be a phase or something and doesn't realize I don't LIKE getting screamed at and that I don't LIKE sobbing and that this isn't to be a special snowflake or whatever... She got angry at my teachers and threatened to pull me out of school because they called me by my preferred name and pronouns... Also came within seconds away of returning a binder I just got... First binder I ever got.. I wish there were special words one can say that could just.. Let people like that instantly understand. Like "abracadabra" and it makes sense to them.. *sigh* (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧ fighting! Just got to keep fighting until we're allowed to be our own people...

“Posture” is short on filmmaking skill, but oversupplied in its sincere wish to communicate something of the dilemma faced by those who realise they are living their lives in the body of the opposite sex and are surrounded by family & friends unsympathetic or not understanding. Noah/Ophelia, played by writer/director Liam English, is haltingly inarticulate as the lead character, but manages to express this angst most powerfully by his very tall and lean frame, which is a remarkable visual in itself.

[@a.goudreau425]

She's still the same person, just with a different name, different pronouns, and different genitals. That's all that's changed. I should know... I'm a boy. Nothing has changed at all about me except for my name, pronouns, and genitals (eventually). That's it. Being Trans isn't as easy as 1, 2, 3. It's a process to get used to, a process that takes time. Some know really fast, others don't. It's not anyone's fault, it's just how you are and you can't change that just because someone doesn't like it. All she needs is support, love, and care. Just like any other person in the trans community. This is my thoughts. If you don't like them, then skip them and don't let it ruin your day. Just go on and hate on someone else. But she is beautiful, and so is every other trans person.

[@Alucia0]

I will say that expecting people especially people like parents to just accept it off the batt and chance how they treat you and address you instantaneously is kind of unrealistic. What I do not get and can not get is people acting like it is all about them. It is not I'm sorry but it is not about them. Us being who we are causes you pain then so be it. If things take time then fine but don't treat us like we are mentally ill, don't treat us like freaks, don't treat us like we are doing something wrong. We do need help yes. We need support, we need people to treat us like we are human and not the monster under the bed. The ending though really got me. It's the little things, just a tiny thing like that makes all the difference in the world. Just treating us like us can help fix a life time of pain and hurt. I personally have been very lucky. I came out in my early 30's and almost everyone has been lovely and supportive, my friends my partner, my workplace. My parents are far from it and have decided to go no contact, which really hurts though.
