Ruby Rose, the creator of this short film, wrote that, only forty-eight hours after posting this video, she got sixty thousand new Likes, forty-five thousand Shares, and nine hundred thousand Plays on Facebook. Those numbers have gotten a lot bigger since then. Click to see why.
Bottom line: gender isn't just something we're born with, it can also be a function of expression. I love how this film blasts rigid expectations of who can rightfully present as "masculine" or "feminine". I love even more how it helped me realize that, even though gender and sexuality may be cut-and-dried to many of us, it's not for a lot of people. And for that matter, it shouldn't even have to be viewed as a choice.
Slightly NSFW: a cameo appearance by a dildo.
