TW: I go on a ramble about transphobia
Another note about the allegory in Nimona. It's truly heartbreaking. It hits so very close to home. I've grown very comfortable with my trans identity, and in extension my identity outside of the gender binary. But it seems the more comfortable I get with myself, the more I get scared about all of the hate around trans people. The more I recognize myself as trans, the more I feel my rights are being taken away. The more I recognize myself as non-binary, the more I realize that people think that my identity doesn't exist. Sometimes it feels like everything is out to get me. Like everyone is after me and my community. And it's heartbreaking. And it shouldn't be a feeling that should exist. And I'm so very glad that this feeling was shown in Nimona so well.
I'm really enjoying this movie. I could write a whole essay on this movie and still have things to talk about. It might be nearly 10pm in my timezone but gosh dang it, I am finishing the second half of this movie.
