We're dropped into the lives of four trans people practically begging the world to care about their pain, but with very different ways of approaching a brighter future.
Grohl, come out with it and just say we're cool. Be man enough to man up, because you're the Übermensch that has all the straight males, and we're cool, but you won't say it because you're afraid you'll lose your audience.
