"I'm a girl and a boy" ─ When I first saw the title of the film, I thought it was another film discussing sexuality, but I thought it was nothing more than the ignorance and suffering between homosexuality. It was not until the introduction of the plot that it was discovered that it discussed not only sexual orientation, but also gender issues, and more psychological feelings were derived from it.

In recent years, more and more people have devoted themselves to the research topic of LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexuals, Transgender), but many people always mistake Intersexuality in the latter two of LGBT . However, it is not that intersex people are bisexuals. Except for the structure of their bodies, their erotic flow is actually the same as that of ordinary people in society. It is not that intersex people are transsexuals. They do not want to change their inner self and body structure. Sexual orientation requires medical gender adjustment. This is what this film wants to say. The gender of a person is not determined by a cold scalpel, but the identification and confirmation of self-worth. Medicine is not omnipotent, but medicine with human thinking can be more omnipotent.

Watching this film, there are many perspectives worth thinking about. The first is Yaris' parents, who do not lose the nature of being a parent. They want to do everything they can to take care of their daughter, so that she can avoid the torment of gossip because of her physical difference, so for Yaris. , moving again and again. But in addition to Yaris, as parents, they also have to bear other people's strange eyes, so they raised Yaris as a girl since childhood, let her take female hormone medicine, and even hoped that he would undergo surgery to become a girl. A normal girl, in order to complete the imagination of a normal family in their hearts, no longer need to torment themselves because of worrying about Yaris' mental torture.

Then there is the protagonist, Yaris. Since he was a child, he had a low self-esteem for his body, so he slowly closed his mind. He finally made a good friend and secretly told him this secret. He was so frightened that he chose to publicize it, which caused Yaris to be hurt a second time. Since then, it has become more closed, fragile, indifferent, and stubborn. Her parents felt bad for her, so they started the source of Yaris taking female hormone drugs. Yaris claimed that it was "a medicine to prevent the fear of being hurt." Yes, she thought, if she took it, she could become a girl , then you can be free from strange eyes and ridicule. But she began to think in her heart. When she was with a girl, she also felt slightly moved because of the cute girl beside her; when she was with a boy, she also felt a little different, she didn't know why she had to choose Gender, she is confused, so she would rather be hurt than take "the medicine to prevent the fear of being hurt".

And with Alvado, whose parents came to Yaris' house, and the 16-year-olds, as they talked and contacted again and again, Alvado gradually became curious and fond of the mysterious Yaris. Liz gradually let down her guard against him, so Yaris decided to let Alvado see her inner most inferior body structure and took off her clothes. Alvado was surprised by the sight in front of him and still accepted it completely, so the young couple Decided to taste the forbidden fruit for the first time, but the result turned out to be that Yaris had a relationship with Alvado in a gay sex pattern with her male sexuality, but Alvado accepted all this in a moment of consternation. And Alvado's father, who mistakenly thought that the two young people had a good relationship with each other, also naively said to his son, "I am relieved to see that you and Yaris get along well, because I have never seen you have a girlfriend. , I thought you were gay." Ironically, he wanted to laugh.

Yaris didn't want to decide her sexual orientation. Her parents finally realized that forcing her would be a disguised injury to her, so the Alvado family should leave. This autumn is like being teased by leaves After a circle of ripples, the lake surface is slowly still. From her refusal to face her sexuality at first, Yaris decided to continue living with her body after thinking about it. This was another stop in her heart, at least it took her to a new level for accepting herself.

The sex of the sea turtle is determined by the temperature of the nest environment at the time of hatching. When it is greater than 30 degrees, a female turtle is hatched. When it is less than 28 degrees, it is a male turtle. Yaris is a girl who hatches between 28 and 30 degrees. She doesn't decide her own gender. All she can decide is what to do in the future so that she can grow up happily. Since she doesn't want to decide her gender and thinks it's okay for her to coexist, why should we control her thoughts? Those presupposing what other people should do to be happy can only be used as a reference for others, and no one can determine anyone's gender and sexual orientation.

Society should be more tolerant and considerate of this group of people whose gender and sexual orientation are ambiguous. If people in this world are born with coexisting sexual characteristics, should those who have only male or female sexual characteristics be classified? Classes for mutilated geeks? Of course, just like the Australian government has added an "X gender" column in addition to the original male and female columns on the document, in fact, everyone and every society has become more and more accepting of these ethnic groups. the trend of. Rousseau said that "all men are born free and equal", and there is no distinction between superiors and inferiors. What we need to do is to respect the way others choose to live, and to provide them with correct advice and the help they need. When life is exhausted, all rights, status, and appearance are not so important. Only a happy, happy and healthy life is the most important, isn't it?
