I have given my support for many LGBT themed movies, primarily those that are transgender based. Although I do admit, a lot of them are poorly written or are far from the truth. Boy Meets Girl is different. It is a beautiful depiction of what could truly happen in the life of a transgender girl. How do I know? Because I am a transgender girl myself.
As a transgender girl myself, I will admit that I have had far more struggles than Ricky does on Boy Meets Girl, but that is primarily due to being a part of a large town. Ricky lives in a small town and people tend to be forced to get to know you. I have also come out to friends and family in my late 20's while Ricky came out early as a child. I found myself wishing I was more her, and less me. Then I watched her video she made when she was young, and believe it or not, I did something similar and I felt like I was Ricky.
Why am I telling everyone this stuff? It's because the way this movie is written, allows you to better understand the complexity of the characters and yet feel for their struggles. It allows you to get drawn into their passion and cry through their pain. The characters are amazing and appear so natural. This movie is one of the most realistic, and beautifully written, transgender themed movies I have seen as of yet.
Please like this review, then like this movie. Give "Boy Meets Girl" the exposure that it deserves!
