The movie was outstanding in its sensitivity regarding a group of people who are struggling to be accepted or even tolerated. I found it to be extremely accurate for some transgender women, as there is great diversity under the transgender umbrella. I'm so happy they didn't cast a man to play the part of Ricky, as Hollywood typically does in movies about trans women, but instead casted a lovely trans woman to play the role. Michelle Hendley does it brilliantly. All the actors play their parts brilliantly in fact. Michael Welch, Alexandra Turshen, Michael Galante, all played their roles, authentically, with charm, and humor. Eric Schaeffer seems to have insight into a subject that few non-trans people seem to understand. I think most people will enjoy this movie because the romance, and hardships and triumphs are universal. <3
