Allegory - enjoy nature, refuse castration

This is how I feel after watching it. It seems that ALEX is complete, while ALVARO is a castrated and incomplete person. His attraction to ALEX can actually be said to be attracted by the natural state and complete state symbolized by "she". And ALVARO's doctor's father is a representative of castrations, in contrast to ALEX's father. The transgender "senior" to whom ALEX's father asked for advice said that he had been "castrated" five times, still found what he wanted, and was working hard to create his "perfect family", which was awe-inspiring.
For me, it's a fable. Fables of human nature, fables of society, fables of politics... all are indispensable. It is consistent with this, saying: enjoy the nature, refuse castration.
