I finally got to watch I saw the tv glow - I knew I had wanted to watch it and every trans person with good taste in movies (including here) said to watch it. I did like it, but I wish I had been warned that
spoiler for the tone of the movie and heavy stuff (I'll say tone was not happy cause I wished someone had told me)
It's a downer and Isabel/Owen doesn't figure out that her life is a lie, even though this life that was supposedly rooted in logic includes Owen being able to support himself from... restocking balls in a ball pit??? Or that his manager never aged a day in 30 years??I was able to trans my gender in our irl Midnight Realm so for me, I couldn't really relate as much to the inability to take that leap - it was just when I had cracked my egg, I only had one direction - no choice to go back to boy mode; because it was transition or suicide, for me. I mean, I'm certainly sympathetic. I can understand it as a survival method. I just can't relate on a personal level, that's all I'm saying.
In a TV show like The Pink Opaque, Isabel would have escaped on her own right at the last minute in a double episode length season premiere. So I imagine the reason it ended on that cliffhanger is that we didn't get to see her finally claw her wat out.

I believe the ending is left vague because it’s intended to be a work of interactive fiction and we’re supposed to write the movie’s ending ourselves. It’s our own version of The Pink Opaque.I officially made the decision to transition like a week before watching it and that was the conclusion I came to. My own experiences were pretty dead on in many ways to Isabel’s, even right down to the age/time period, so when I watched that ending I felt relieved because I knew that I had already escaped. I feel like I had essentially written the real ending before even seeing the film.
