second born son: a transsexual documentary

In 2019, I started making plans to undergo gender affirming surgeries. It made me deeply uncomfortable and distressed to learn that body tissue is discarded uncaringly after surgery. I took steps to receive the tissue back from the surgeon so I could carefully bury it in a special spot. There is something sacred about being received and recycled back into the earth, and I wanted to be able to have that experience. This film details this story.
