Do I have a social responsibility to be Tina?

Absolutely not. If the only way I can be part of society is to pretend to be a more passable, more palatable trans person, then society has failed me. There's no ethical or legal obligation to make a Tina movie. Legally speaking, it's simply impossible to use my script without my consent, and ethically I was extremely clear when I pulled the plug on pre-production in early 2023. Nobody signed a contract with me to deliver that movie, so that's on them.

One could argue a moral obligation, but the transphobia that the wannabe producers constantly threw at me removed that obligation.
