      abstract = {"After finding a most unusual web site that was seeking  funds to help reverse a sex change, award-winning filmmaker  Tom Murray set out on a fascinating cross country journey  to explore just a small part of the vastly diverse  transgender community. The filmmaker, in trying to define  the film and what he learned in making it, said that it  could be described as "Transgender 101 by and for a  non-transgender person."  What happens when a young gay  man, struggling not only with his sexuality but also  gender, decides to have surgery to become a female, and  later in life decides to return to being a gay man again?  Can someone live their life full time as a female, but  still have a penis? What's life like for a former male  college football player, finally living her life as the  woman she was always meant to be? These are just some of  the stories told in the fascinating, poignant, informative  and some may say controversial documentary Almost Myself.  The film focuses primarily on women who are white and  older, yet were identified as male at birth. The stories  include journeys of boyhood to womanhood and the struggles  of mending and transcending gender."--container},
