J.

Once someone gets to the point where they feel the most like themselves, the posts about transitioning stop. They seem to reach a point where they're ready to live their life. </p><p>The documentary does a nice job of showing two paths after transitioning. Neither is easy. The only disappointing part is that the law plays into someone living their best life. People shouldn't have to hide. </p><p>When you're transitioning, that community is so important. I wish the step after transitioning was more public but I also understand why it's not. Someone like Trace Lysette should be known as an actress who can play any role, not just trans roles. </p><p>Definitely worth a watch. </p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/trans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trans</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/movie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>movie</span></a></p>

SynAck the Employed! :facepalm:<p>I watched a couple of episodes of <em>Pulse</em>, a show that is <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/Netflix" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Netflix</span></a>'s answer to <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/HBOMax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HBOMax</span></a>'s <em>The Pitt</em>. <em>Pulse</em> feels like what you get when Fox or the CW tries to imitate a gritty and accurate HBO show. I don't think I'm gonna finish this series.</p><p>It's far less about the high drama of a busy trauma center and so much more about the the beautiful people playing doctor and dealing with crap in their personal lives. Everybody is sleeping with everyone else (or wants to). The entire premise of the show is that the beloved chief resident is suspended due to a sexual harassment claim and the resident that filed the claim gets promoted to that position. The staff is in complete chaos and it's very unclear on who reports to whom or who even has what position because it's not about that - it's about who is jockin' whom to get what they want. </p><p>The focus is not on the patients or medical situations and how the trauma staff deals with those realities; in <em>Pulse</em>, that almost seems to be a secondary plot line used as window dressing to set up the drama of infighting and interpersonal relationships amongst the staff. And there are so many flashbacks telling the story of the relationship between the two central residents that is completely distracting, not to mention the new acting chief resident having a panic attack every 5 minutes over apparently every little thing and being seemingly incapable of doing the job. </p><p>After just 2 episodes, it's exhausting and tedious. <em>Pulse</em> is definitely no <em>Pitt</em> and unless you really prefer relationship drama to actual medical drama, I'd say give it a miss.</p>
