As a teenager, I was part of a group of skaters and spent whole days with them, but I constantly carried the fear that if they found out I was transgender, they would turn away from me. That stress was the background of my everyday life. Eventually, it grew so much that I stopped going out with them. Only years later did I realize that the guys had known from the beginning and had no problem with it. It was me who rejected myself before anyone else had the chance to accept me. From this, I learned that in reality, most people are mainly focused on themselves and their own concerns, so what seems like a big problem to us often doesn’t even matter to others. This experience was the starting point for making Dickflip. Additionally, more and more films about transgender people stirred strong disagreement in me. They portrayed us as passive victims of bullying — forever suffering, powerless, and without agency. That was not my reality. No one bullied me — except myself. That’s why I created a character who doesn’t fit that mold. Someone toxic, impulsive, who hurts others — not because he’s evil, but because he never learned to believe he could be enough just as he is.
