Female to Male transgender documentary

I wanted to make Stella Omega and other Female to Male transgender people aware that there was currently on BBC iplayer a documentary that you may like to watch, not sure how you access outside of UK but maybe via BBC america.

It will be available on the iplayer after 6am on 12th October

Sam and Evan: From Girls to Men
17-year-old Sam and 20-year-old Evan are a gay male couple - but underneath their clothes they have female bodies. What makes this story so exceptional is that they are both in the process of changing their bodies from female to male, at the same time. This film follows their gender journey and the prejudice they encounter along the way - including the humiliation and fear they suffer of having eggs thrown at them as they walk to the bus stop. The documentary tells the story of how Sam and Evan met, fell in love and embarked on a remarkable transgender journey together to transform their bodies from Girls to Men.

My pleasure

So what is your opinion on the documentary itself?

I'm watching it right now... it took me the first five minutes to get used to their accents!

SO far,everything seems very familiar. And-- one thing that gives me some encouragement is this reaction of anger that so many people get when they first say anything to anyone about transitioning. It really took me by surprise when my partner reacted that way. And I am still not so sure how I can handle it-- but it's pretty common, and obviously, people do deal.
