Jack's Summary:
Everybody should engage with the insights that these men can offer, no matter your gender or sexuality or ethnicity. They discuss invisibility, transitioning, sexuality, relationships, and feeling erased within LGBT+ spaces. It is an absolutely wonderful film that I highly recommend watching. Trans men are historically (and currently) often erased, and this is especially an issue for trans men of colour in certain spaces. This documentary is eloquent way to push back against that erasure, and dismantle limited rhetoric about what being trans looks like. Trans men of colour, and all trans men, deserve to take up space and be listened to.
