What if it’s your birthday and your parents just want you to wear the wrong clothes for the party? What if you have to come out all over again to your boyfriend? What if you’re a young transwoman and you meet someone you like at a party? These extraordinary short films illuminate how trans and non-binary people navigate life’s many complications while staying true to their own selves.
