    Friday night movie recommendation: Will & Harper on Netflix is fabulous. Will Ferrell is amazing, but Harper Steele is courageous and beautiful. Is Pringles a sponsor? How did I just find this?

    Will Ferrel has a pro-transitioning movie coming out on Netflix today called Will & Harper, and in interviews says some damn supportive stuff I wish other comedians his age would take a lesson from.

    I'm finally watching "Will & Harper" on Netflix, and it really is a lovely movie, heartwarming about a serious subject. Everyone should have a friend like Will Farrell; an antidote to toxic masculinity. Harper is brave for taking the risks she does. My favorite moment: the Oklahoma bar scene.

    Will & Harper did ultimately win me over as a very compelling film for what it is. But one thing's still been bugging me: We desperately NEED a good, *updated*, trans 101 vid. Will & Harper just isn't that. It's a top-tier "cis telling cis about us in outdated terms", but that's all it is.

    I watched "Will & Harper" last night about Will Farrell driving coast to coast with his long time friend Harper Steele who recently transitioned to be a trans woman after a lifetime of wanting to be that way. There are many interesting and at times moving conversations from which many of us could learn a lot. Some of the most touching parts for me were when small groups of ordinary folk were talking with Harper and treating her as one should - like just another person. #willandharper

    I’m so conflicted about WILL & HARPER being on Netflix. It’s a beautiful movie and being on Netflix gives it massive reach and help show that trans people are just people. But Netflix is also more than happy to pay exorbitant amounts to hack comics who say that trans people are freaks.

    I saw WILL & HARPER last night and found it an enjoyable but difficult watch, because I'm not the movie's target audience, nor even its subject: I'm the object it ponders. No, I'm not Harper Steele, but I'm a trans woman, and it's fundamentally a movie about cis people's feelings about trans women.

    If you think Will & Harper is the movie you show your parents so they can have empathy for trans people, you are right. It sucks that we still need stuff like that, but it can feel hard to complain about trans 101 content, since as a country we are still failing the 101 course.

    yea, admittedly I don't see transfems wanting to hang around mens-only spaces the same way some trans men have trouble moving on from a butch lesbian identity, for example. The closest I could think of is the way some transfems end up stuck in femboy or sissy cultures and they have trouble moving on from that even when they're dysphoric and suffering for it, but I still think that's a different experience. That said, I don't know if you've seen [_Will &…
