Here's a link to the movie's website. I totally cannot wait to see this!

http://www.boymeetsgirlmovie.com/

What's more is that I'm looking at this lovely lady, Michelle Hendley, (who is transgender, btw) and I'm seeing a young lady that I can finally identify with and relate to after all these years.

Also the website has trailers for the movie and some behind the scenes stuff, too.

Looks like a good Rom com. I hope all the good bits aren't just what's in the trailer though.

It's on Vimeo. Just watched last night. Overall it's the best trans movie I've ever seen. I highly recommend it. As much as I was dissatisfied with Transparent I loved this. It was so sweet.

I'm not much for romantic comedies, but I kind of want to see this just because they've actually cast a trans actor in a trans role! It's sad that alone makes me happy.

Ripely it really isn't a romantic comedy. Not in the sense that it's usually used. It's much more of a dramedy or just plain drama. There's plenty of funny lines but that's not the focus at all.

Just an fyi, this movie is now available to purchase and watch online or you can buy the dvd on amazon.

...and my copy is in the mail as we speak. I'm excited! I've heard really good things about this movie. Like, "it's a more positive depiction of us and our struggle than TransAmerica was" and "not just in the top 10 of must see movies with a transgender character, but the #1 movie of that list"

It's also on Netflix instant video so, if you have Netflix, it's free! Thanks so much for sharing, I'm about to watch it now!

OMG! That was such a GREAT movie! It was so real and, by far, the best depiction of trans women and our struggles (and joys) that I've ever seen. On top of that, it was just a good movie all around.

Overall, a MUST WATCH!

I ordered the DVD yesterday, and it arrived in the mail today.

...too bad I'm not going to be home to watch it, but, mom is bringing it along for our get together in WI.

Speedy delivery at it's finest!

I just finished watching the movie and I have mixed reviews. I liked it in parts and I didn't like it in parts. The movie did a very good job at showing some of the struggles we face with acceptance. The cynic in me looked at a couple scenes in the movie and thought, "that wouldn't happen" but as a friend reminded me...it's a movie, so it's a bit of an exaggeration of the normal. Um, I wasn't expecting full-frontal in this movie so just be mindful of that. (I can't exactly have my mom watch it because she doesn't like that kind of thing) Then of course I cried at the end.

For the most part, though, the movie was definitely relate-able. Several times, Ricky said something that I would have said myself. :)

We watched it the other night with my father-in-law and sister-in-law visiting. We all enjoyed it and it speaks so many truths about being transgender.

I actually bought that movie (Boy meets Girl) because I loved it, and the cast and story. Another good movie to watch, I believe it's a made for TV movie, called Normal. Jessica Lange played the part amazingly.

While Boy meets Girl had a couple parts where I cried pretty hard, there were some parts in Normal where I fell completely apart. Both have happy endings and both are in my opinion, well made......

AWESOME Movie :)

 

FYI, if anyone didn't know, the trans star Michelle Hendley has her own Youtube channel.  I love it.  She posts sporadically, but it's always interesting and sometimes very funny.

Yes, I own the DVD.  I ordered it the minute it was available...

On a slightly funny note, I recommended the film to a cis-female co-worker.  She liked it, but her comment was,"Why didn't they cast a "real" transgender in the lead?"...  She thought Michelle was a cis-female made to look trans with "special effects" :)

      Thanks, @VickySGVfor some truth. Hatred may speak loudly in a political agenda, but there is always love, there is always love.

      Doesn't this belong over in the Humor Topic??  Grim humor I admit, but it has the dark humor picture of the folks protesting the Sacramento Sanctuary Laws.  If the world is going to end next week why are these people so concerned about someone staying fertile and able to have children??   Crazy.
    • VickySGV
      Once again the opposition is telling scary, unfounded  baloney about what IS being done to any Trans Person.  The truth about the very little and very cautious treatments just will not sink into them because it will sink them.  They bully their own Cis children unmercifully to fit into their molds, and that is gruesome in itself. I am happy to say I know that Trans children and all Trans folks in the area have access to wonderful care based on what some of my former State colleagues who have Trans family members and fellow employees there in Sacramento keep telling me about.

      good for you dear. my guess is soreness is good sign things are going on there. water them n hope. smiles   actually was speaking to someone other day n they said the growth leveled off after a few years  which coincided with a few years of very high stress..n then when the high stress resolved, she grew another cup size..
    • missyjo
      darling I completely agree. but it will need road testing I'd think.    and I recently asked a surgeon about an idea I had for easier recovery...do a zero depth 1st..recover then add a canal..he said NO. this surgery is hard enough on body to recover, do not do it any more than needed. also said penile inversion usually is sufficient n includes a few centimeters of perineum tissue anyway..so keep the perineum pull through as a reserve technique in case there is a problem with theb penile inversion.    hugs to any who want them

      I can't tell from the article if being trans was part of the motivation for the crime, or whether it was simply incidental to it. Clearly at least one of the perpetrators was known to the victim, which seems to continue the pattern that the most dangerous people for us are often people we know.  😒

      Beans, beans, the musical fruit...   But beans and rice make a complete protein, and a pretty cheap base for any sort of meal. Since two of my partners are Hispanic and one is Asian, we use a lot of rice. Plenty of beans too, although 90% of the time they are on the form of black-eyed peas. That crop grows really well in the South no matter how hot and dry it gets.  And the Native American trio of corn, beans, and squash is a classic.  Actually, those ingredients tend to show clearly whether kids were raised with a healthy diet or not. Kids raised eating those foods luke them. Kids raised without experiencing those foods tend to reject them immediately. Rather strange.

      I feel a little better about going outside. I got my EpiPen just in case of an emergency. Today was rough started euphoric and then depression hit real hard and I don't even know what it was about. It just happened. I want to see a bright future but it turns dim because of something. I was disappointed on how much supplemental insurance was more than regular health insurance. I enjoy seeing other successful people making it as a couple through everything in fact I cheer them on but it just makes me think if I will find anyone. I barely dated anyone when I was physically fit male and then it seems the older I get it gets harder. Not to mention everyone down here leaves as soon as they find out I'm trans. It's only going to get more difficult because of borderline personality disorder. It's dang near seems impossible that people would even put up with that. After all that I'm still trying to be positive and hope for the best but I always expect the worst and that has always been the case. Pushing 40 and I haven't even experienced true love.

      Good afternoon everyone,    I’ve been working in the shop and preparing a few training props for shipping. So my responses and activity here has been very slow. I’m doing well just real tired.    Hugs,    Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      That’s good news, listen to your doctors and your body. You may be asked to start a daily exercise routine and walking around the neighborhood. The worst thing you can do is become sedentary and laying around.    Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
