Possible spoiler alert here, so read on only if you've already seen it…
We just watched The Danish girl last night, and I was left with mixed feelings about the whole thing, it almost seemed that the TS condition was being portrayed more as mental illness in parts? Esp the bit where Lily said said about not being able to get the male side back, now im Pretty sure that you dont lose your memory or feelings when you switch modes, and yet it was written like it was some extreme form of MPD?
I would have been cooler to have had the leading role played by a genuine trans person too, i think there may have been more expression and feeling behind some of the scenes too.
The very end bit, the last line in there did make me cry quite a bit though.
Would love to hear some of your opinions too!
