Saw it the other week with my mum (which was a mistake. don't do it.).
It's a shame how Lilly was portrayed as if she had multiple personalities, though if that is how she truly dealt with it then I can not blame the film makers.
It's so hard to imagine what it must have been like for her. To have no idea how to explain or understand her feelings without the language and context that we have today. For everyone around you to be completely clueless as well. Even today, though we don't perceive being transgender as a mental illness, there are other mental illnesses which are common for transgender people. Without any kind of support, I can totally accept the way she was portrayed as being accurate.
