An important exploration of issues rarely touched upon by most films portraying female-to-male (FTM) transgender experiences, BOY I AM promotes understanding of transgender issues for general audiences, while also encouraging conversations heretofore unexplored between the lesbian, feminist, and transgender communities.

Dear friends, As long as this comment might be (sorry...) but this is very important. There will be a parole hearing for Leonard on July 28, 2009. This is a critical time and I please all of my friends to take care and act or send the informations to someone who could help. This comes from the bottom of my heart and I send out all my love to you. Leonard has big health problems as you could read in the bulletins the last days and does not get the medical help he needs in prison. Help to bring him home in freedom before his 65th birthday this year on September 12. Thank you so much for doing what everyone of you is able or willing to contribute! Love & Peace, Kirsten

Mother’s is likes no others Mother’s is likes no others She is always compassion kind and thinking about what is best for the child. She is the first God the child can look up too. She will wiped the tears from the child eyes, just to found out what’s wrong with the child. She would mend that bruise knee with a bandage, hoping that the scar was on her knee instead of your knee. She would feed you when you were hungry, She would clothe you when you were naked. She would do all that for you to tell you that she love you. Nobody can take her place here on earth. She is the salt of the earth for the family. She is the seasoning for the family. She makes everything all right. So if you have a living mother you have something to thank God for. Because she is the first to pray for her child if it gets into trouble. She wouldn’t turn her back on her child. Because she deserved the flower that she received. So children gave her flower why she is living. Mother is likes no Others 2009-May 10th, Sunday - Mothers day The work in being a mother is not an easy job, therefore, much love and respect to you on that day!
DAWN-ANGELS (by A. Mary F. Robinson) All night I watched awake for morning, At last the East grew all a flame, The birds for welcome sang, or warning, And with their singing morning came. Along the gold-green heavens drifted Pale wandering souls that shun the light, Whose cloudy pinions, torn and rifted, Had beat the bars of Heaven all night. These clustered round the moon, but higher A troop of shining spirits went, Who were not made of wind or fire, But some divine dream-element. Some held the Light, while those remaining Shook out their harvest-colored wings, A faint unusual music raining, (Whose sound was Light) on earthly things. They sang, and as a mighty river Their voices washed the night away, From East to West ran one white shiver, And waxen strong their song was Day.
