Boy's Don't Cry

I hadn't seen this movie until I previewed in class, and I found it very moving. You could see the struggle Brandon had to deal with every day, which ranged from personal to legal issues. I found it interesting the time and process “he” spent in transforming to a male, but yet no matter what he did he still couldn’t stop the fact that he was biologically a female. For example when "Aunt Flow" came there’s was nothing he could do. Cleaning the stain and buying pads put him in awkward and uncomfortable situations, but yet I think the worse part of having his period to him was actually having a daily, mental reminder that he wasn't biologically a male, but actually a female.
