. They tell us about the personal experiences they wove into Denny, and what it’s like to be part of a renaissance generation, telling new stories about identity in all its kaleidoscopic beauty.Well, firstly, what a privilege to be able to have a non-binary role!

A major theme of the film is how bodies and aesthetic choices – like having long or short hair, or wearing a dress – are gendered by people’s biases. How do you relate to that?I'm a former anorexia sufferer and part of that was gender dysphoria that, at the time, I didn't have the language to identify. So bodies being looked at, and a discomfort with bodies, is an overarching theme of my life. Everybody has a different relationship with it.
I remember struggling with [being the only Denny with long hair] a little bit: I didn't want people to think of me as the ‘female one’. There's not one way for a non-binary person to look, you know?

Interviews took place with Liv and Bobbi individually, and with Lex and Chloe together, covering themes that have been compiled for readability, and condensed and edited for clarity.
