This Spanish film is the latest addition to a long string of movies about child transgender identity made in Europe. They include Belgian Ma Vie en Rose (Alain Berliner, 1997), British Just Charlie (Rebekah Fortune, 2018) and French Little Girl (Sebastian Lifshitz, 2020), to mention just a few. 20,000 Species of Bees does not add anything particularly new to the debate, however it delivers a tender and affecting diversity statement.
