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 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.
