I haven't seen it and I don't know if I will- I have complicated Feelings about media on subjects like this, unsurprisingly I'm sure, and I've looked at the discussions around it and I'm not sure how I'd take it.

I mean, there's so much talk around it being a trans metaphor, but I did transition, and I *also* settled down and have a family, and I also haven't given up on woo stuff, even though I no longer am going to get talked into needing to save the world by calling off work and driving to the next state with no warning.

And I've been in enough places where "looking critically at woo and maybe saying no to some of it" was seen as a betrayal of belief that I am perhaps oversensitive to criticism that "having a stable job" or "prioritizing my family" is abandoning the truth or whatever.

Anyway. I appreciate your take on it because I know you get it.
