    "In the land of dreams, you can be who you are, and no one will hold it against you."

    I find it somewhat difficult to describe and objectively analyze the film Girl, as I am not an expert on the subject, and each story is unique when we talk about the deeply personal experience of transitioning.

Even today it continues to be like this in the neo-liberal and conservative (it seems contradictory) North American system. A true story very well told and interpreted, tremendously dramatic. I really like!
