1. In fantasy literature and fairy tales, there are many "transfiguration" stories, such as Zhuangzi's fish-turned-dapeng bird or Andersen's mermaid. What if the metamorphosis changed from a "metaphor of growth" to a "fact of growth"?
2. Compared with the Danish Girl (The Danish Girl, 2015), the girl (Girl, 2018) has a significant improvement in medical background and social acceptance. If the factor that led to the tragedy of the Danish girl's death is the external immature medical treatment Technology, then, the film's sympathetic tragic fate comes from the anxiety of an immature age. Indeed, time is particularly oppressive to these adolescent children who want to change their genders, especially this child's ideal is to become a "female" and a "ballet dancer".

Far from the Tree: Parents, Children and the Search for Identity, Volume 2, Transgender:
Most experts in the transgender field adhere to the Harry Benjamin Standard, which requires patients to live in the gender they want to be for at least a year before undergoing surgery or hormone therapy, and undergoing a full year of treatment. Psychotherapy, and a medical procedure was recommended by two medical staff (one a physician). While some complain about wasting time, arguing that the sooner someone in desperation converts, the sooner they can be happy, these safety measures are designed to prevent someone from regretting surgery and also protect medical staff from legal liability.

This method is more invasive, expensive, and may cause mucus to seep into the vagina. ... With the support of their families, transgender children can use hormone blockers to inhibit puberty development before they enter puberty, avoiding some of the physical troubles when switching genders. This therapy can be started at the age of ten for girls and twelve for boys. ...This kind of therapy can effectively buy time for the family of transgender children. If the child is determined to be transgender, the blocker can prevent them from entering the "wrong puberty" and save many surgeries in the future. …Forcing children to switch genders will lead them to lifelong mental or medical entrapment, which is indeed a terrible mistake; however, forcing children with a firm gender identity to develop according to their original biological sex will cost a lot of money in the future and go through layers of pain. It is also a big problem that the surgery cannot rebuild a body that conforms to the self-identity.
3. The Doctrine of the Mean says that the destiny is called nature, the straightforward nature is called Tao, and the cultivation of Tao is called teaching. From the perspective of "mandate of heaven", there are many limitations in human life, of which the biggest limitation is the body.

The ancient text is straight, from one foot", the body that the toes can't cross is the body. However, in addition to living according to destiny, human beings have the ability to adjust (cultivation). When there was no medical support, it used to be considered that psychological adjustment should be made. With medical support, it is now considered physiological adjustment. At the same time, people seem to forget that psychological adjustment is still necessary.
4. The director let the audience see the tragedy of physical and mental separation, but who in modern society is not living in the alienation that Max said?
5. The bullying of children is not bullying. There is such a wonderful part in this movie, which happens in the scene where the children spend the night together. In the classmates, we found that the contradiction between rejection and acceptance occurs. In fact, when people admit or agree with uncomfortable facts, they will inevitably have such reactions, such as the earth is round and space is distorted.
