“A twenty-something lesbian university graduate in Amsterdam prepares to leave for Montreal, meanwhile navigating her social life and writing carreer.”
Nuance, QUEER, lesbian rep, non-binary rep, learning healthier communication (with oneself and others), unfortunately mostly white though not exclusively, not American!
I cried a little, I laughed a little, I had to turn down the volume in case someone woke up or walked in right during one of the two sex scenes (and I blushed a little).
It’s on Netflix, but I’m sure you can find it elsewhere
After thinking about it, I can think of nothing more powerful than Alexander Skarsgard's Murderbot pulling the most disgusted face and bluntly stating it has no gender and does not want one. New viewers who do not know Murderbot and will be expecting the typical white male power fantasy "robot marine" are going to have to come to terms with that and I for one think it is a delightful notion
Would I have liked a non white cis man casting? Yes, but I'm also ready to see people tie themselves into knots over a masculine appearing character say it has no gender or sex and also wants neither
I'm known on the internet as Lake "Sebastian" Mojave, and I've been doing game criticism for two years, writing for three years, and streaming for four. I'm focused on genres from a variety of eras, but mostly neo-westerns, horror, indie games and story RPGS. I like cowboys, vampires, and basically every kind of movie ever. I have a twitch channel, and I'm writing a book series!

My themme fatale, Verge, is back - this time in the main Midnight Burger storyline.
They're the friend in low places that BertBert needs to save her blue butt. Tune into Midnight Burger and let me nibble the scenery (and your earlobes) for a spell. 🫦
do any other trans masculine folks have this odd... not quite gender envy, but it's like 'oh if I was younger I would be having some envy for this person' where the person in question is a girl (or girl-adjacent) and you can recognize that back when you thought you were a girl and/or thought that was your only option, you'd have wanted to be this specific sort of girl? if that makes sense???
like before I gained any real, conscious gender awareness I would always admire the girls who were more boyish and less feminine (gee, i wonder why it'd be those girls, specifically... how peculiar, what a mystery, we will probably never solve it... 😐🏳️⚧️) and would think that I wanted to be like them. so now, as an adult guy who knows a lot more about themself and their identity, I still find myself fostering a certain fondness for those same sorts of girls and the kid who looked up to them before he finally woke up and found himself.
