A girl like me - Gwen Araujo/ 11:47 PM Omg...i'm wathing this really really good movie called A girl like me - Gwen Araujo Its a great movie about this boy,Edward, who have the desires to become a girl. Even at a young age he wanted to be a girl. And as he grows older, his desires to become a FEMALE grows as well. By this time, his mother finally see and realise that this is who he is, this is what he wants to be. But then again, part of herself still hopes, still prays that Edward would barge in one day adn admit that all this was a mistake. Slowly, they finally accept him and that is when he evolves into a real she (no he did not get a sex change..just dresses like one and look like one) also invloving the change of the name to Gwen Araujo. She then falls in love with a marine guy, who in turns love her back but what he didnt know was that Gwen was a he. And they dated for 9 months but when he finally finds out that Gwen was really a guy, he was shocked beyond belief and ended any means of communication. (now see, that is the typical human behaviour....oooh, forget the 9 months they spent together...ooh he's a guy, he has not virgina...i cant see him anymore...WTH!! what about liking a person for who they are?) so after the breakup, Gwen strayed from the right path and started partying and drinking (of course, everyone hates her, and findin someone who actually loves her and then losing him, it gotta hurt) she mixes with bad company (a grp of college guys) she had Oral sex with them (she gives them BJs) okay so they a few days pass by, and the guys suspect that Gwen was a guy. OH and how right they were! but they couldnt just let it go, not when their fucking EGOS are hurt (men and thei ego....oh how i hate them...) they decided to beat her up for 5 hrs straight and then strangle her and bury her in a nearby feild. Well, of course police did their job and found the body and brought the boys too court. (omg this is where i got really pissed) The lawyer representing the boy attempted to defend the boys by saying sth like "Mrs Araujo, do you really blame these here boys for temporarily losing their heads and act rashly after being deceived in such a way. A freak becoming sexually intimate with his same sex. Society has made it such that Edward is an outcast." And she replied "HOW DARE YOU! HOW DARE YOU say that society has made them the way they are. You expect me..ME to forgive them and not blame them after what they did to my DAUGHTER?! They beat her up for 5 hrs and then strangled her and buried her in a FEILD! AND AFTER THAT THEY GO TO A DINER AND EAT PANCAKES FOR BREAKFAST!! I BLAME THEM...I BLAME EVERY ONE OF THEM..." she then walks out of the court room with her head held up high...and every single one who was present clapped their hands in support...(I SUPPORT YOU TOOO!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (oh! another scene that made me pissed off!) it was the end, when Gwen Edward Araujo was given a wake. People, protestors gathered infront of the house and started protesting against the family, against Gwen, against transexuality. (WHAT THE FUCK!!?!?!? CANT THEY JUST FUCKING MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS?!?! they know nothing bout her but yet they gather out there and start to protest. HAH!! what a typical human reaction...STUPID AND SHALLOW!!!) Thats really the end of the story, when Gwen was finally put to rest... OH and this IS a true story...but well then again, i'm not surprise coz human beings are every bit the animal they believe they are ever so superior to...stupid bastards... This movie is a great example thats addresses the issue that seems to be a tabboo among society...something that seems to be too lowly or "disgusting" for people of class and morals to discuss. And when asked why they refuse to acknoweledge it, they say is a sensitive issue, one that needs to be address with much care and consideration. STOP THE BULLSHIT!! just come out of the closet and admit that you, yes even adults, are uncomfortable discussing such issues. People are all different, you don't expect for everyone to be the same. Thats the reason we are human beings and not mere clones. So who made the rules that we have to be straight? we have to be our gender. Who the hell made such rules?! that those who do not follow the crowd are freaks? are different? WHAT THE FUCK?! They are human beings too, born with feelings, passion and purpose...they feel what we feel, their blood is as red as ours, We ARE the SAME. We are not at all different. So why do people squirm and figgit when they discuss this issue. But what can i, a mere teenager do to change or open the minds of others? To make them see that everyone is different in their own way...so does that makes us all freaks? should we too be shun by society? All i can say is that i'm ashamed to be part of a society that shun away people who are just trying to be themselves. I'm ashamed that i'm categorised as the same species/group as these people. When THESE "PEOPLE" shun away others who behave, acts, talks differently and just coz they do not "fit" into society. Labels: movie, public issues, society, transexuality |
