| Summary: | Challenging the conventions of how queer and trans people are encouraged to tell their stories, The Choice is Real engages the concept of choice in queerness, trivializes the linear and born-this-way narratives, and interrogates the millennial childhood media landscapes (mainly Disney) that programmed the genders of so many. In reaction to a second puberty brought on by medical transition and an unraveling of family structures brought on by the death of their stepmother, Keery regresses through a warped revisiting of foreboding childhood landscapes, and weaves in accounts of current relations, playfully flipping through and uprooting assumptions of queer relationality. The Choice is Real presents an odd celebration and criticism of girlhood from a transmasculine subjectivity. |
