Summary:

Becoming Johanna tells the story of a sixteen-year-old transgender Latina living in Los Angeles who is kicked out of school for using the girls bathroom, then forced out of her home when her religious, immigrant mother refuses to accept her transition to a young woman. Through her fierce determination and boundless resilience, Johanna finds a foster family who loves her and a supportive school principal who helps her to graduate and thrive.

Creating Gender Inclusive Schools provides a behind-the-scenes look at a public elementary school that trains their entire school community-students, teachers, parents and staff-about gender, inclusivity, stereotyping, and bullying. Told primarily through the voices of students and teachers, the film demonstrates that it's not only possible, but that it's downright fun, to train an entire public elementary school community to be inclusive of transgender and gender expansive youth.

I'm Just Anneke is a portrait of a 12-year-old girl who loves ice hockey and has a loving, close-knit family. Anneke is also a hardcore tomboy and everybody she meets assumes she's a boy. The onset of puberty has created an identity crisis for Anneke. Does she want to be a boy or a girl when she grows up, or something in between? To give her more time to make a decision, her doctor has put her on Lupron, a hormone blocker that temporarily delays the hormones of adolescence. Despite rejection by her friends and struggles with suicidal depression, Anneke is determined to be true to herself and maintain a gender fluid identity that matches what she feels on the inside. I'm Just Anneke takes us into the heart of a new generation of children who are intuitively questioning the binary gender paradigm.

The Family Journey: Raising Gender Nonconforming Children charts the emotional and intellectual transformations parents and siblings must make in order to successfully nurture their gender nonconforming family members. In frank, vulnerable interviews, families from all over the country speak about the power of love and acceptance to help their unusual children thrive. They also come to realize that loving a gender nonconforming child, in the face of ignorance and sometimes hostility, has turned them into more compassionate human beings.
