Ultimately the message that lands on the viewer is that gender non conforming people are a nuisance to binary trans people. That our freedom to express ourselves somehow inhibits theirs, and we should of course acquiesce to their interests. Because they're "real".

So just smile and laugh and be sweet and polite. I'm sure if you do that Ben Shapiro won't misrepresent you. Be one of the good ones.

I'm really sorry that it had that impact on you. I agree that it really felt like there were some good points in there, but it felt unfocused & unfinished to me

I got the impression that it’s an unfinished inner dialogue, representing things Natalie thinks or has thought at the same time. Some unresolved contradictions. “Justine” gets to frame the discussion, which gives her a rhetorical upper hand. I can see that being very frustrating.

Idk I feel like "Justine" had the better points, not because they were actually better, but because there was basically an absence of counter arguments... :\

This is my feeling as well. I agree with Tabby, but the way the arguments are presented she loses.

Based on the ending "I guess you just can't win" line I think Natalie's point is that they are both kinda right & wrong & are both fucked by the current systems. But she never presents a valid synthesis of the two. She kinda just washes her hands of it...

Pre cross sex hormones girlish id’d AMAB person over here: I hella disagree. This was an honest reflection of different approaches to trying to own your inner truth of being a trans girl in a society that is ready to invalidate you at any opportunity. It hurts but i needed this
