I watched this on a flight, and the screen was tiny... Plus, my aging eyes do not see as well as they used to anyway, lol...
At the very end of the film, they flashed some sentences on the screen about what I can only assume was a reference to the real life case....?
Can someone please share what was written on the screen?
Thank you in advance!!

I can't remember for sure, but it said that the diaries that Lili Elbe kept (that are mentioned once by Redmayne in the film, where he says the doctor advised her to keep them) were instrumental in fighting for trans issues and developing more effective surgeries. Then it does go on to say Gerda painted Lili for the rest of her life.
To be honest the movie moves so far away from real life events I didn't really pay much attention to it. I think in real life Gerda died only a small time after, ten years or so. They were also a lot older in real life when Lili went through the surgery, and she died of complications after an attempted womb transplant, not from vaginal construction.
Ah, interesting...thank you!
