A mental and emotional journey
This series was exceptionally thought provoking. It presented so many layers of the issue of gender identity. The ML and FL were beautiful people so that made the series fun to watch. Nira's abusive father and aunt were despicable. At no point did I feel compassion for their spoiled self centered selves. I thought the doctor was a kind accepting individual and I could have even seen Nira living her life with him. I related to the young boy/adult woman who loved Chut even before she understood gender. It felt a little uncomfortable that the script implied more than was actual fact. It gave their relationship an incestual overtone. I think the bottom line was that Nira needed and wanted to accept herself as who she was. Perhaps she translated her love into a romantic love because she wanted "Uncle" Chut to be a part of her life in an intimate although not necessarily sexual manner. Frankly, I don't see why Nira and Chut's love for each other could not have been a romantic and sexual one eventually. But, perhaps the point was to provoke thought about attitudes in the LGBT community and toward the LGBT community. Perhaps the purpose was to stimulate a more understanding attitude for people that may color outside the lines. Even though Thailand legalized same sex marriage and seems to be more open-minded than some countries, it's painful to realize that intolerance is still prevalent. I'm personally grateful for the opportunity to explore my own perceptions and attitudes.
