Almost Myself review

Over the weekend I viewed a documentary on the TG community, by Tom Murray titled “Almost Myself”. It’s a little over an hour long and focuses on the diversity of the TG community according to tom. . The main character named Judy in the beginning of the film is a TG woman in her 40s that transition at age 19 and is now reversing that procedure to become a man. The other remaining 6 women who were also men that had transitioned or living full time as women talked about what it is to be a TG woman and the many struggles and loss they encountered.

To me Tom didn’t look hard enough in to the TG community his documentary only reflects the women who are living full time or is post op (after surgery) and only on the M2F side of it. There was no CD or an in betweener (cd/non op ts) as I call it, in his documentary. The women that Tom spoke to many were activist in the community and their opinion of their view on the community and one Dr.

The issue to me is that many transgender people, those rushes in to GRS (Gender Reassignment Surgery) suffer more in the end if they are not content with what they done. They rush in to it thinking it will end their misery and they can live like themselves, but in fact that, it just started. . I understand that GID (gender identity disorder) for some, surgery is the only way to make them balance and having a piece of mind to be happy. I am not against surgery; it is the individual I am against that makes hasty decisions to satisfy one desire.

The documentary is to me just one mans view on his take of the trans community.
