Butterfly Episode 2

[ItsAllGoingToBeFine]

I'm going in - wish me luck.

Calming mug of golden milk at the ready...

Sounds like they should be having that little product placement logo showing!

I'm trying to work out why the acting's so bad all round - I always thought Anna Friel was quite a good actor but not in this.

Glitter and make.up. it's obviously Max's room.

Dad creeping around. Removes Mermaids pendant from boys grasp.

This is really really pushing people to Google "trans mermaids"

Mum looking sadly at Max's boxers

Mum removing all boy things from Max's room

I'm watching it. I have to admit, although I'm finding some of it a bit cringe the thought of a child feeling like this devastates me. Must be truly awful.

I'm trying to work out why the acting's so bad all round

Probably because they don't believe in it.

So mum's not putting all the "boys" toys away - surely that's up to Max?

"he tried to take a piece of broken glass to his erection"!

"Rather a happy daughter than a bad son"

All mum^

Max demonstrating persistent, consistent

Headmistress asked about changing mind etc.

Parents talk about difficulty of accessing help

Happy Max in girls uniform getting mascara on

Max going to be Maxine in School from now on. Cue girly happy music.

Admiring his girl shoes

Dad now accepting sons feminity

Kids all staring at Max

Can still tell he's a boy.

Parents PDA in playground again.

Max getting wolf whistled. Bullied on social media. "Have you chopped your dick of yet"

Girl gives max a pink flower

Max smirking at teacher telling boy to leave room for annoying him.

Girl steps in to defend her brother. Max has a new feiwnd

They are comparing self harming scars

Comparing self harm cuts with a girl. WRONG, SO WRONG.

They are talking about how they like the way self harming feels, releasing. Pretty irresponsible.

Girl feels fat, though she's not. Anorexia? Wants to be Max's best friend

It's so subtle isn't it?
