boy i am
 
 
While female-to-male transgender visibility has recently exploded in this country, conversations about trans issues in the lesbian community often run into resistance from the many queer women who view transitioning as a "trend" or as an anti-feminist act that taps into male privilege. Boy I Am is a feature-length documentary that begins to break down that barrier and promote dialogue about trans issues through a look at the experiences of three young transitioning FTMs in New York City—Nicco, Norie and Keegan—as they go through major junctures in their transitions, as well as through the voices of lesbians, activists and theorists who raise and address the questions that many people have but few openly discuss.

There's a new gender being born into Western Civilization, and Boy I
Am is an important, entertaining, and disturbing film that elegantly
and poignantly captures its birthing. Boy, oh boy... don't miss this one!

For 10 years I’ve been waiting for a film to address issues between lesbians and transmen. There have been discussions among friends but few in public forums. Boy I Am is that public forum. It is a well made, intelligent documentary that inspires healthy and much needed discussion between different but very connected communities.
