Reception

In his film review for
The Baltimore Sun
,
David Zurawik
observed: "It's the stories of the not-so-famous individuals in this film… that most deeply resonate and, as a result, most successfully render a sense of transgender life.… As long as stories like these are eloquently told on TV, the possibility of understanding, acceptance and protection for those telling the stories increases dramatically."
