A fascinating time capsule that highlights that the rigid boundaries between categories are never as firm as people think. It’s people navigating their lives in sometimes messy or flawed ways, cause they’re people, cause they didn’t have all the tools we did. The fact 5 out of 6 of them came out as trans men later on in life really displays this. Being a trans man doesn’t necessarily mean giving up being a lesbian, or giving up your ties to your community. They’re trying to figure themselves out as young queers, having issues from internalized transphobia to military enlistment for the sake of self preservation and family to racial fetishism and appropriation, and that’s important to see! Nobody is flawless in the process, especially when you’re trying to survive the 2000s! Categories are a starting point, a tool to help us further refine who we are, not keep us in a box or divide us. As the couples show here, what matters is we love each other. The name for what we are doesn’t matter, it just matters that we are. It’s a valuable piece of history even in its limitations, even in the boundaries the time and the director’s questions and the subjects’ answers as they’re in the process try to enforce, because the failed attempt only proves the boundaries are meaningless when we see them blur the lines and live and love regardless.
