Clenchy), Shane Ortega, Bamby Salcedo, and Alok Vaid-Menon.
In this documentary group portrait, these eleven transgender people share their stories in their own words.

They recount their experiences of love, desire, family, prejudice, and rebellion.

Reception
In his film review for The Baltimore Sun, David Zurawik observed: "It's the stories of the not-so-famous individuals in this film... that most deeply resonate and, as a result, most successfully render a sense of transgender life.... As long as stories like these are eloquently told on TV, the possibility of understanding, acceptance and protection for those telling the stories increases dramatically."
