i've been wanting to find this documentary, called "no dumb questions" for awhile now, and i finally found it on youtube. it's about three young girls' reaction to their uncle bill's transition to their aunt barbara.

december 19, 2007. one week after my surgery. the moment i had been anticipating for 22 years: the moment i got to wear a t-shirt with a flat chest!

i thought it was an interesting moment to document, as i had forgotten that moment- the fascination with my new chest, and watching myself slowly come to inhabit my new body is interesting, too.

i decided to start this journal exclusively to document my transition through film. i have become somewhat obsessed with documenting my transition; taking a number of courses in multimedia documentary has sparked this interest. a few lj friends have suggested a film-exclusive journal, so here it is.

this is a short documentary of my name change hearing day. i was fortunate enough to have my father and girlfriend present for the day.
