As the mom of a trans teen, Hannah's coming out scene infuriated me. What a shitty mother 😠 I know that was a very big fear when my son came out. I hope all parents who kick out their kids for being trans get a heavy dose of karma!
@@not_clishae I've sat on your comment for 3 days. I just don't know how to reply. First, ((hug)). Second, ((hug)). We've found it difficult, because when flying/traveling we have to use legal *deadname*, so we go back&forth. Also, what do I do with my kid's baby book? Do I alter it? Do I burn it? I'm not gonna lie, I've shed some tears. I had to grieve a child" lost" before I could come away with the knowledge that this was the same person that I've always loved, and will continue to love with my last breath. All this to say, have a talk with her. Does your dad have an influence? My husband continues to use *deadname* and so does his side of the family (grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc) It's all very confusing for the Boomers, and it's SUPER HARD for you! You are forging a new (gender-ideology????) and you're getting a lot of push-back. You're forging a new world, and it's hard. It sucks that you're stuck with this, but most of us believe that you're changing the world for the better!!! As an aside, I hope we can come up with some other term to replace "deadname". Maybe it's just me, but it goes all the way back to pregnancy, and feels like calling you a stillbirth. The term "deadname" is reeeeaaallly triggering for this mom. I didn't give birth to a dead baby (thankfully).
@5H43_26 same here (except it's more one-two years, I can't remember exactly how long ago it was) and it doesn't help that I find it difficult to put things into words, so I was feebly trying to find reasons I COULD word out, and....yeah, they think I was making excuses and that I just wanted to be like my trans sister (I'm ftm, the opposite of my sister)
Hi! Really liked this film. It emphasizes a lot of issues trans people today face, and it was very interesting to watch. I liked that the film wasn’t afraid to slow down in spots , it made it feel a lot more real. Many of the scenes felt incredibly real, such as where Hannah texted her mom that she’s trans, and just sat there after, very relatable and i felt the texting anxiety secondhand. Looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Max said about coming out and after it’s easier but it’s gotten even harder 😭 my mum just completely denies my identity like you would think she’s forgotten if you didn’t know her. She literally says “you know you’re not a boy u know.” Everything I do anything to make myself more comfortable.
all relatable. poor hannah :( big hugs for her! my story turned out more like a fairy tale, which makes me feel somewhat like an imposter... I know I was very lucky, and I feel so much for those that have to deal with this the way Hannah had to. I live in the US, abliet in Texas, but I've been pretty lucky with getting my meds and couldnt handle not getting them at this point in my life.
Good for a beginning filmmaker. I’ll caution you though that one thing you learn very quickly is that audio is at least 50% of the audience experience. Good luck and keep at it!
Off topic but I love the scene in the train station and on the train because I know where it is and it makes me really happy to know I'm not the only trans person here as silly as it is
wow! this is an awesome piece of work! it really brings attention to the issues, in a way that does feel like your experience real life, and not some fabricated TV show. would there be any way to contact you? I am a videographer myself and would like to seek advice for a project like this, to bring attention to the issues. Again, awesome piece of work!! 💜
This movie gives me hope that i one day maybe making my own Short film about queerness and like tell people about the struggles of queer youth in the country side. Sadly i dont know enough people to do such a project :( But i have some ideas. Do you like have some tips on how to make a short film ??
Sorry, the movie may be good, I don't know, I had to stop right in the middle : hearing you using the word LIKE ten times in a sentence was unbearable for me... Though I'm supportive of trans people, even if I'm not myself. But please, of course the subject should be the most important thing, but the form also matters !
This is my first short film ever, I appreciate all feedback and there are many things I would go back and change if I could. Unfortunately I have submitted the project as the deadline was a few weeks back so I cannot make any more changes but editing the scripts is a huge part. I wrote the whole thing myself in three weeks so there are many errors. Thanks for your comment :0

i wasn’t kicked out but my mom doesn’t believe me that i’m trans 4 years later still

As an older trans teen, you sound like an amazing mother. Much love to you and your family (and I hope your kid's journey goes well)

If anyone would like to follow me and any future work I do I have an Instagram I am far more active one @theparkinglotlovers
As someone who is currently making a short film honestly, this one is really good ❤

I came out as trans like...forever ago...and no one in my house uses my prefered name/pronouns...so i know how you feel
There are a lot of us who support u. It’s the people who hate that are the loudest, and the minority about LBTGO rights.

Great job on this project! The coming out scene was very well shot and paced. Posters were a nice detail

That was an amazing short film! You are very underrated
