New Video! Gender Dysphoria: The Movie
🕑 Added 2017-07-21 17:48:32 +0000 UTC Dear Friends,This one took about three weeks but is finally complete at considerable financial and emotional cost. Hopefully it's worth it!
Next time I think I'll go back to squabbling with Nazis or something else that's only middle-tier injurious in terms of mental health.
In return for my troubles you owe it to me to be extra entertained by this one. You are gods of pleasure and I am your servant.
Also, new outtakes video coming this week!

Had to become a patron after this video! I've only been subscribed to your channel for like a month or so. After the free speech vid I binged watched all of your content immediately! You've put out nothing out but stellar work but this one by far takes the cake. It really took me through the whole gamut of emotions and gave me a much greater emotional understanding of gender dysphoria. Can't wait to see what's nextโค๏ธ๐๐ป

Cool
Also FWIW: The trippy Feminist Frequency allusion via male pattern baldness was everything. I've now watched it several times :P <3

Sorry to hear about your struggles and I know what you mean about feeling too old for high-school shit--I feel like I should have figured out something so basic as my own gender by now, but here we are. I think struggles with self-image are sort of a life-long battle. Good luck with everything <33

I'm just some schmuck on the internet but I wanted to tell you how proud I am of you for pouring your heart and soul out on the screen for us like that. It takes incredible bravery and integrity to put yourself out there like that. I'm only a $5 supporter but content like this makes me want to throw all the money at you. Wishing you much love and success, and especially peace of mind in your journey.
You've got a real talent for film-making. I agree with Lindsay and think you should consider presenting this at festivals.
This was so, so good!! I don't even know where to start, just how you managed to mix entertainment, comedy, art, strange imagery, social commentary and real emotion (The bed scene made me tear up) in just 15 minutes is incredible. It's so, so hard to effectively mix strange dreamlike imagery and absurd comedy with real emotions and the feeling of loneliness and emptiness and make it come out sincere, and yet you did it!! And just seeing the time and effort you had to invest to make everything come out perfect, that alone makes it worth watching a million times. All I can say is BRAVO!! ๐๐ผ๐๐ผ๐ฏ๐ฏ (Ps, unnecessary yet obligatory male comment: you looked absolutely INCREDIBLE in the mirror scene with the blonde hair and red lipstick/dress ๐๐ฅ๐ฏ)

This was great, it was so recognisable! You really know how to make these visual metaphors for feelings that are hard to put into words. The vignettes work really well, both in isolation and together. It's just such a good video! I was happy-stimming the whole time and I still can't stop.

This made me weep. I had to watch it a few times. Ugh. The disturbing lack of that 'home' feeling in my own body -- it's so familiar. Short, fat, black, and hard of hearing; that's me. Anger that I should feel fine with this, shame that I can't escape the discomfort. I feel pride, yet also feel unwanted and ill at ease with each of the identities I have. Ugh! I'm 47-years-old. I feel too old for such high school shit. But there it is. And so it goes. Thank you, Contra. Thank you.
