Hey:
I just wanted to let everyone know about a movie I stumbled across tonight.
For one of the very few times it's happened, I found a movie, Boy Meets Girl,
that I wish I had written the story... and shockingly enough, it was a story that
I almost could have. And... I was floored.

I hope you are all well.

Good movie
Not just a sensitive exploration of what it means to be trans and to be friends with someone who is trans, but also a good story and a good movie. And I did almost write this story, it's so much like a parallel of Sledgehammer that I was almost floored. :)
Hugs,

= Give everyone the benefit of the doubt because certainty is a fragile thing that can be shattered by one overlooked fact.
So, this is safe?
I don't usually watch these things because the makers just don't fuckin get it. Maybe I'll have to have a look.
I hope that you are well also.

Very Safe
Its very safe in my opinion and done very well. The characters are very real and the humor is in good taste.
I really enjoyed this a lot :)

Gotta catch Michael Welch's interview also
He is a great ally imho
Now all we need for the other 50%
Is a movie called Girl Meets Girl that is the flip side of this. T-Girl meets Boy, tries sex and then winds up with gorgeous lesbian/bi woman.
Kickstarter anyone?
Here's a video...
with Michelle and the director, Eric Schaeffer, from last year when they were getting backers for the movie.

I Watched It Today
I thought it was very good - A very positive story. I appreciated that one of the main characters is transgender (instead of a male or female actor playing transgender).
Thanks to enemyoffun and Sarah Lynn for creating threads about the film. Thanks also to others who have provided links to additional info.
Just watched it.
Got a copy(ordered online), Just watched it.
Great movie, Well done. I recommend this one.
It would say it also could be useful to open a dialog,
a way to bring up the topic, for those not sure where to start.
Just a thought.
