It was all about this film maker that filmed a little boy for a college project then went back 30 years later to meet with him and talk to him. During the movie it fallows many people from different ages and wakes of life.
he talks a lot about how when we are kids we think playtime will never end, and then when you grow older things start to change and life begins to settle in.

i want to make it my duty to make sure life doesn’t settle in too much. i want to always keep the mindset this movie has put me in. Little things don’t matter anymore. whether or not i will be married and have kids, whether or not i will pass bio or gradate on time. this life may be the only one i have to live and i intend on living in freely and loosely, with minor limitations.

I legit own and wear this outfit frequently

Four-year-old Farris watches The Empire Strikes Back for the first time and learns that Darth Vader is Luke’s father.

John Stewart said it pretty much said it all.
I find this horrifying that people can treat another human being like this on television and get away with it. This isn’t even mentioning those individuals who find it “wrong” that Chaz is on national TV, but the way Fox just jokes about Chaz without even considering the type of turmoil that goes into changing your gender.
        I am paraphrasing something that Cher said on TV awhile ago, she said the only way she could really understand what Chaz was going through was to sit and think, what if i woke up tomorrow and i was in a different sexes body, how quickly would you be uncomfortable with yourself and want that to change? I think about that and about  how anxious I would be, if I, a girl, woke up one day male bodied, knowing that society expected me, to be tough and brave and fit into this one role, and if I  didn’t fit that role, I was a sissy and a faggot and a queer. Then maybe I decide that I am so uncomfortable with my body that the only way you could be happy is to take action and change it with meds and surgery that 1) cost and arm and a leg because no one is covering me as far as insurance and 2) take a very long time.
      Then after ALL OF THAT, I am finally happy with myself, and I’m some big taboo, even though my outside now fully matches how i feel on the inside.

Chaz physically looks like a male, and has had surgery to have the proper genitalia, and (I am assuming with this last one since i don’t know him) feel and acts like a male. If someone had met Chaz after and had no idea he was transgender, they would think he was a typical male, but once the mere word transgender comes out its like all their assumptions on this person change. All of the sudden he is taboo and you couldn’t possibly have that on television. I am not asking anyone to change and their views on these people, but when something comes up like this, have a little respect please, I am sure Chaz went through so much pain to get where he is and to have Fox say something nasty on television like that is making people think its OK to just put transgender people down.

yeppp……another day in the life at MCLA
