Experiencing Interruptions?

The Bearded Princess

In this film, The Bearded Princess, I dive into my struggles and triumphs on how I've learned to cope with wanting to have been born a woman. There's always been a girl in my head and she's waited desperately to get out. It's been hard to "come out" to a world which seeks to hate femininity and feminine men altogether, especially those who are straight like me. A film not for praise or sympathy but perhaps to save a life. In 5 chapters spanning 25 minutes I share the many ways I have learned to love and accept myself - this includes surrounding myself with incredible women, dressing differently, transmuting negative energy and taking risks.
