The other main character advocates for committing suicide as the answer to their predicament. All bodies feel like a prison. They get old and ache some don’t provide the right chemicals or their brains hurt them. It’s not a problem only belonging to the trans community and the other main character seems predatory while the main character is beyond reach and does absolutely nothing the whole film.
I can relate to the message but the message was bad from my perspective and the execution not better. Maybe because it’s so incredibly pointed that I don’t get it but that doesn’t make it any better that it’s for a specific audience and everyone else is left stranded. I got the message I just thought it poorly faced it.

i didn’t see it as suicide at all but rather as accepting the death of their former self. Trans people refer to their old identity as a dead name after all. 'sides rebirth is a common trope in a hero’s journey wherein you come out of hell (the ground) changed for the better
