Critics Review
As someone who was called a tomboy growing up as well, it gives invaluable and often ignored insight into the life of a trans masculine person. Strong, powerful and a valuable resource about the importance of supporting trans youth, regardless of their gender expression. – Fox Fisher, film maker, artist and campaigner
Excellent expression of self-discovery! Casper describes the psychological torture of being a young trans man in a developing woman’s body. A very powerful demonstration on the need and validity of puberty blockers for trans youth. – Charlie Kiss, author of ‘A New Man’
