Lifelong vaginal dilation and breasts made from birdseed: we all have issues we've had to deal with in our lives; these are Gwen Haworth's issues. I know this because I've seen her film, She's a Boy I Knew, a deeply intimate portrait of a male-to-female transsexual woman.

I've seen docs that follow sexual transformation and I've seen feature films that tell the story of transsexual people (like amazing film Transamerica from 2005 featuring Desperate Housewife Felicity Huffman's brilliant portrayal of a transsexual woman). But this film is something entirely different.
