Robert ( formerly Barbara) is a FTM trans person. Their partner Lola ( formerly John) is a MTF trans person. They have found love and acceptance together.
The film concentrates on Robert who has ovarian cancer. They had top surgery but did not have ovaries, etc.removed.
It's very sad that the doctors don't want to treat Robert , for fear of ruing their reputation. What's also upsetting is that Robert doesn't seem to have any healthcare at all.
. Most of the film is of Robert going through the dying process. Its very sad.
I really think there was so much medical negligence here. They dismiss Robert as an ovarian cancer patient because of their identity. But why did they even allow any surgery and male hormones to be used by Robert with no aftercare ?
Surgery is not without risks and since Robert chain smokes, and has been smoking since their childhood.
I cannot fathom why any competent doctor would not disclose the risks of any surgery.
The characters are very likable. Much of the film is spent on them getting ready to attend a trans community gala called Southern Comfort .
Robert and their friends are all caring people that deserve so much better than just surgery . I feel they all were used and discarded by the medical community I just get the feeling that they were operated on and given hormone injections. That's all. People need better care than this.
The movie just seems so unfair.
The film touches more on the social lives of the characters. The film doesn't have much depth to it. The people seem incredibly sad.
