Crappy Streaming Content Title
If I see something with a title like this on Netflix, Amazon Prime etc. I usually skip it, purely because the title is so shit.
Should I also skip this?

I am happy to find another person who thinks like me!
I don't think this movie is about being trans at all, that's a toxic lecture made by people (the own director, I guess) who can't understand the existence of an omega male (or woman, but principally men) if he isn't mutilated, basically, a thought I find very dangerous, btw.
The film is about the isolation of two persons connected by fiction, and Owen problems didn't have any relation with being a woman but with his family, his personality, etc., Mutilating his body wouldn't make him happy, it would just probably make his life even more miserable. But is true the ending is dissapointing, the film gives t¡you clues about another dimension, Twin Peaks style, but finally that's skipped. Good experience, anyway, and the actress is truly incredible.

The very last sentence of the film implies he is transitioning, but exactly as you pointed in your message, for me the film is perfectly valid without that trans view, maybe because all the trans stuff is an unnatural and toxic thing promoted for reasons I don't really understand (money, probably).
I guess you too understood the two protagonists as two fucked up individuals for their families, contexts, not because they don't identify with their gender or whatever. It's true the film implies there is a paralell reality, Twin Peaks or Matrix style, and that they are trapped in a simulation, but I think the director didn't have the balls to follow that fantastical path, and simply ends like a drama of an omega man whose only good experience in life was watching a soap opera with a girl she liked. Implying the solution to his problems is transiitioning of sex is crazy for me, although fortunately the film isn't propagandist at all.

But only that comment. He is an inadaptated introvert person, but society (in USA principally) now understands if you are that way you have to change your sex ( which i guess we all agree is impossible, for now at least).
How did you understand the whole movie, for curiosity?
