Louis Mitchell, of Springfield, MO, expresses his feelings about the new stereotypes he must face as a black man as opposed to those of a black woman. The media conveys that black men are either obnoxious rap artists, or street thugs and thieves. Louis says that people are afraid of him now that he is a big black man, and that the media makes it harder for him to be who he is. Another obstacle Louis faced was that of his lesbian partner. Even though they love each other dearly, they were unsure whether his partner would still be attracted to him after the transition. They are still together and they are very open with communication. Louis’ new identity also makes his partner feel as if she is losing her identity as a lesbian. These sorts of issues and stories are the reasons that this documentary is so interesting. It asks questions that one may not think of when considering the hardships and joys of being black transmen in different geographies of the country
