So a long time ago I saw this movie when I was a little kid that kinda stuck in my mind.

This Girl Milly wanted to be a boy because quote "boys have it easier" , she made a subsequent wish that by magic came true and she woke the next day as a boy. It goes on so that her name is changed to Willy and takes on the life of a teen boy.

But I was really annoyed to find at the end that she decided she really wanted to change back because being a girl was so much better than what she thought, she makes the wish and again 'hey presto'.

So have you seen this movie?

And if so what were your thoughts?

I jumped over to IMDB to see a little more about this movie. I tend to watch almost anything that shows up, but I don't think this ever made it to HBO or TMC. I'm not sure what Robert Osbourne would say about this. It does look interesting and the reviews certainly seem positive enough.

Sounds like a grass is greener on the other side concept, rather than a tg one, but decently done.

The theme I got from that was more "I don't get the opposite sex" than gender dysphoria. It seemed well-done enough for what it was, though.

I can understand feeling that things like this are aimed at your head, though. There are a few examples in my head already that I'd rather not list.

Ah, western society. :banghead:

Yeah I would have to agree with it being more like the "grass is greener on the other side concept" like you said Chloe :)

It is just one of the strangest ways of portraying that that I have ever seen and at the time I was only bout 7or 8 and was like "what the" cause I wanted to be that kid who woke up in the guys body and I couldn't understand wanting to go back :dunno: . I was so confused by this - as you can see it had an impact of sorts as I haven't forgotten it.

feeling that things like this are aimed at your head, though.
well looking at it now yeah it seems kinda like it is meant to do exactly that - saying if you get this you will want to go back... just depends on the way it is taken I guess.

Thanks for the replies Chloe and Valerie :)

So has anyone else seen this movie ?

And if so what were your thoughts?

      Mississippi Just Got Worse!

      By VickySGV · Posted

      Actually the bill seems to be so thoroughly confusing that I doubt that enforcement is even possible.  It could however incite vigilante style actions.  A false accusation against a "looks challenged" Cis woman is very likely to happen early on.  So what will happen in the case of those situations?  I have a script in mind over the sad average looking daughter of one of the legislators getting tangled into one of those situations.  I don't know whether it would be a comedy or a tragedy at the minute.

      Time to bring a self defense weapon. Looking forward to having a gun on my side.

      Do you plan to be active during Pride Month? If so, what type of activities?

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I don't know yet. I'm sure there is going to be a big crowd. I also would have to keep up with the kids and probably won't enjoy myself mostly.

      By Ashley0616 · Posted

      I can understand that. My Keurig is used for hot water mostly and when my mom comes. I mostly use a regular coffee maker. I have had that for 5 years now. I had a Bunn but it didn't last long. I also have a French press and rarely use that. I would love to get a cappuccino maker but that is for later on. Starbucks is getting expensive. My kids favorite thing there is the cake pops. I found out that Walmart Neighborhood Market has them. Typical me getting off topic. lol

      After many years in denial, I have finally acknowledged my femininity. After quite a long life, so much time has been wasted. Now I feel I am too old to enjoy the freedom I now feel. All I can contribute to those who need to embrace their true gender, be BRAVE and don,t waste time!

      Wow what a busy day today.  Clearly the summer crowd is coming into town.  Doesn’t hurt that we have a PGA event here.  It is limited to 100 players. But the spectators is where the crowd is.   i alone more than doubled my usual sales.     we keep hearing thunderstorms however they are staying just west of us for now. The storms in western Tennessee right now are supposed to be here in the morning.

      My gen z cousin & her gf were visiting the last few days. We are a very, very small contingent of queer members of our family & we stick together. She and her gf introduced me to G Flip. They recently attended a concert and said it was the best concert ever. They were playing G Flip in the car and I was impressed by the vocals, the lyrics, the influences, and the percussion (G is also a drummer). I love a nonbinary vocalist (not that we get to hear so many...yet...) because the freedom from gender performance shines forth. I could hear influences from many styles of music I loved in the 90s, but all blended together in a joyfully percussive way. G Flip is rad! I would post a link to some tracks or an album, but there are explicit lyrics which would go against community rules - you can easily search youtube yourself if you're interested; their latest album is called "Drummer". But here is a picture of G who is serving us gorgeous nonbinary vintage Axl Rose!

      The Inevitably Awkward Intro

      By Vidanjali · Posted

      Welcome, @MAN8791. I relate to this so much. I'm roughly the same age as you, afab & nonbinary. For decades, I beat myself up for being a "broken" girl/woman. And I tried my darndest for many of those years to perform woman successfully. While outwardly I may have seemed "a success", inwardly the effort and dysphoria caused me so much anxiety, panic, and depression that it eventually became unsustainable. For me, the first step was letting go of identifying as "broken". Next, I allowed myself to be however I am. And very rapidly I felt better - in fact, initially I felt ecstatic. The door was open for me to really learn about self-love and therefore love itself.

      Well, the counter space in the kitchenette is pretty Limited. But also cost, and usefulness. I guess she is mostly right, and it isn't really important.
