there are no doubt many wonderful details in Monkey Man that I didn't fully appreciate bc I'm not Indian, but there's one moment I need y'all to hear me out about bc I'm trans:
when Kid is training one of the women at the temple and she turns to her friends and flexes her muscles. big smile on her face. everybody cheers. it's a simple fun moment! not flagged as in any way a big deal! Dev Patel might not have even realized it could be a big deal for trans viewers! which is exactly what makes it a big deal.
so you're good at something, or interested in something, or just trying something that's stereotyped as "for" the gender that was assigned to you. many people in your life have used this strength or interest or curiosity against you to claim you're "really" such and such when you know you're not. this sucks. it can make you avoid things you enjoy, and it can make you scared to try new things. SUCKS.
when you're among people who you can trust completely, who respect you and understand you and would never use this thing to misgender you, you can just. do the thing. and enjoy it. and be cheered on for it! bc it's just. a thing. non-gendered and glorious
go see Monkey Man 馃憫

Maybe it's being intersex maybe it's being trans but I think the "force feminize our femboys, real femboys take e" jokes are all absolutely disgusting. I understand it's a joke about trans women eggs but it does not rinse the rancid taste from my mouth.
I was forced against my will to be feminized. I was traumatized, watching each day my body further betray me. Trans femboys exist. There shouldn't be barely ironic jokes about forcing or pressuring people into transitioning. Not in the sense of "one trans person represents all of us to bigots" but in the "we are fucking trans and should understand being against forcing someone into a gender. It's not funny just because you have the power" way
