So today while channel surfing I came across a movie called A Girl like Me: The Gwen Araujo Story. It was a great movie about a transgendered Male to Female teen who was brutally beaten and killed by a group of guys it was a lifetime movie so it wasn't to graphic yet it was sad. A couple hours ago i was channel surfing again and came across a movie called. Boys Don't Cry starring Hilary Swank as a Female to Male transgendered teen who was brutally beat and raped by two guys later on the guys shot her in the head. This movie made me cry because he didn't do anything wrong he just loved so it broke my heart a little bit. I've never watched any kind of movies lke this before so they really got to me and since I'm gay they kinda got close to home. Anyways these are good movies to watch I would love to watch them again sometime.

Boys Don't Cry is the first thing I thought of when I saw the title... I love it too much. I've cry puddles over what they do to him. I couldn't believe it was Hilary Swank either.

Erm.. You may not have heard of it but, Breakfast on Pluto. It's considerably old, and I'm assuming a British made film. Based on Patrick "Kitten" Braden's auto-biography. About a boy who is a cross dresser and was given up as a baby. He then goes in search for his mother. It doesn't sound too good, but that's basically it. There's quite a bit of British humour and a few moments when I spared a tear, but I loved it!

I have to try and watch A Girl Like Me. I love films like these.
