How Funding my Own Transition Saved My Life | Transgender Documentary
Through a collection of video diary entries shot over two years, Lucy, a recently "out" transgender, autistic person reflects on her past mental health struggles as a teenager with gender dysphoria.
Lucy utilizes direct-to-camera monologues, mixed with an original soundtrack written and performed by herself to create an intimate portrait of what it is like to discover your authentic identity and fight for the right for legal recognition.
Lucy discusses a range of topics, from the gatekeeping and seemingly endless waiting lists for Trans Healthcare in Britian, to the joy and happiness of living as a proud, autistic woman and ally to the LGBTQIA+ community.
