Synopsis by Matthew Tobey
While many are familiar with transgendered people who transition from male to female, female-to-male transitioning is far more uncommon and--as illustrated in this documentary from Samantha Feder and Julie Hollar--far more controversial. Boy I Am explores the plight of women struggling with the belief that they were born male as they encounter adversity from both straight society as well as the lesbian community, wherein some view female-to-male transitioning as anti-feminist.
