And if this movie made anyone feel … something … about themself, my DMs, as they say, are open. There is still time. #HATM #ISTTVG

Anyway, thanks for watching this incredibly meaningful film with me, and thanks to @herberthistory.bsky.social for letting me pick a couple weird ones. He assures me we’ll do something normal next week. #HATM #ISTTVG

Is Owen retreating, covering up again, or on the way to living for real for the first time? It felt bleak to me the first couple times I saw the movie, but others (including the filmmaker, Jane Schoenbrun) feel like this is Owen starting a new life. #HATM #ISTTVG

Owen is immediately looking better. Less grey hair, lips aren’t peeling. Self care! #HATM #ISTTVG

As Owen FINALLY looks inside, notice how yonic the chest opening is. #HATM #ISTTVG

In the men’s room with the urinals. But spitting up the Luna Juice, about to make a breakthrough, maybe? #HATM #ISTTVG

Screaming for help but no one can hear you, no one can do anything. This is a tough scene to watch. #HATM #ISTTVG

“I even got a family of my own. I love them more than anything.” Oof. That delivery kills me every time. #HATM #ISTTVG

There are of course many ways to be trans, to experience that disconnect. A lot of this movie didn’t really work for me, but there are a couple moments coming up that sure did. #HATM #ISTTVG

Yeah, your life flying by, waiting for it to start? I know that feeling. Many trans people do. #HATM #ISTTVG

We’re in the Planetarium! That represents transformation, according to Maddy/Tara #HATM #ISTTVG

So the show ends with Tara and Isabel sent to the Midnight Realm. And Maddy is saying the world Owen sees as real IS the Midnight Realm, and they are Tara and Isabel, and they need to escape. By burying themselves alive. #HATM #ISTTVG

“You can’t trust anybody in your life, they’re all working for him.” Like how in The Matrix everyone was potentially an Agent. Sorry, cis people, you’re all potential enemies until proven otherwise! #HATM #ISTTVG

Time not feeling right is a common way trans people describe their pre-transition lives. Like it passes too quickly, you can’t remember stretches #HATM #ISTTVG
