Euphoria - My Personal Trans Canon

These films give me some sense of euphoria (or simply feel validated). People have chosen to argue with me on these before, but this list is personal to me. I don’t know why that’s so tricky for some people, but if you intend to comment anything negative about this list, I invite you to reconsider.


My personal trans canon as a non-binary goth just trying to find their way in the world. This could be because of an individual scene, moment, or just how I chose to read it. Not really ranked either.
