Imagine feeling as if you're trapped in the wrong body, that there's been some sort of mistake-that you're supposed to be a girl instead of a boy. How would you tell our family and friends that you wanted to change genders? And what would you do when society not only refused to accept the new you but was violent toward you? (official distributor synopsis)
