Boy I Am

While female-to-male transgender visibility has increased considerably, conversations about trans issues in the lesbian community often reveals views from many queer women who see transitioning as an anti-feminist act to somehow tap into male privilege. Boy I Am is a feature-length documentary that critically examines such views to promote informed dialogue about trans issues. Is transitioning a current fashion? Is it healthy? Is it anti-feminist? The film's historical framework insists on a coherent, patient and inclusive discussion that contemplates on a range of gendered experience and shows how inextricably linked the lives of transmen are to queer and feminist issues.
