Ponay (or You Are Not F***ing Welcome)
Cherry is one bureaucratic checkmark away from obtaining a gender identity exemption for the military draft: they ‘just’ have to travel from Bangkok to their family home in Thailand’s deep south to get a residency document. On this final stretch, not only do they have to deal with their conservative family’s outright rejection and abuse, but even those who do recognise their queerness harbour misplaced expectations towards how Cherry performs their gender.
