Short Film, small budget, big impact?

I saw this linked on twitter from a highland LGBT forum, Gaelic as a language is still being nurtured and encouraged back into the public domain after speaking, reading, and writing it was made illegal for many years in Scotland. This has subtitles for folks like me, but I think it is a fairly close to the bone piece.

It may seem a bit confusing to start with, but I can see what they were aiming for in the video, stick with it to the end.

Well worth watching, although a little sad. I was half trying to understand the Gaelic and half watching but it did not really needs words or subtitles.

 

Thank you!

Yes it is a bit sad but then, maybe not as she has awakened from here past.  

 

I must admit I have never heard Gaelic spoken conversationally so this was an interesting experience.   I can never understand the arrogance of those who would make speaking in one's native tongue illegal.

But it was a lovely film and had me going right up till the end. 

Is it really bad that i was trying to pick out a single feature to identify her as trans?

 

But i got it in the end. It was a abstact perception.

 

lovely post Dee. Great film showing the diffrent reactions to a transition.  It was a nice dress to.

 

 

Ill say this very small

?? I used an online translator maid. Love it!  I spent the first couple of minutes doing that too, and while I think she exaggerates her walk to the more common 'casual' shoulder bounce when she walks past the guys in the street funnily enough I couldn't find any.

I think they did a good job at pointing out the possible reactions and definitely the fear of rejection being coated in fake niceness. 

 

Jani she has indeed been born, despite everything else so in a way it does have a happy ending.

It is a part of history, the United Kingdom was united by the ruling classes so England did not have to worry about fighting a war on multiple fronts, outlawing the language happened after the Jacobite uprising, it stopped the peasants plotting and revolting, if it wasn't for the outlying islands the language would have been totally exterminated. There has been a concerted effort to bring it back which has had some success.

It’s very nice to hear Gaelic. Even though I can’t get my head around it either. There’s something primal and otherworldly about it. Like Klingon and Quenya had a baby and it was Gael. 

 

The video was very artistic and I appreciate the message. The scenery reminds me of North Dakota though. Very cold looking and somewhat flat in town. Not a day I would wear a dress, it’s so cold looking! Maybe she can stand it better than me.

 

@Maid In Bedlam OMG I died!!! I couldn’t breathe I was laughing so hard! 

 

Isle of Bute Councillor Len Scouller, who is independent, said: "It makes us look bloody stupid. 
"I'm not a Gaelic speaker but I would apologise to people who are Gaelic speakers and we will rectify it right away.

 

 I guess that changes the whole meaning of “hey baby, I really like your bod!”

      So, yesterday's epiphany was that girl jeans fit me much nicer than boy jeans. Well, duh! So this girl is switching over to wearing girl jeans pretty much full time. I'll keep my others for work jeans. We went out to dinner last evening and I was in androgynous mode...wearing a pair of Bandolino Amy straight leg denim pants. Score!

      Good morning, everyone!! The coffee upload has started for me but just in the early stages so I'm barely coherent at this point.   You've been missed @Willow - I hope all is going well with your wife and at work.   @awkward-yet-sweet We love to make beans with rice - one of our favorite meals.   No big plans for me today. Small projects around our place and probably some reading. We're going to have some rain off and on, and the temps are still too low for a lot of outdoor work.   Be safe and enjoy this beautiful day we've been given!!

      Hi   boy you back to work and miss lots.  No time to catch up right now. But I will.   just wanted to let everyone know I’m still here.   willow

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.
