The Things That Make Us

Synopsis

Two trans people and their journey to learning to love their bodies.
A film about the effects hormones can have on your body as a trans person. Mainstream narratives often sensationalise the experiences of trans people with medical interventions, but this film explores the issue of hormones in more depth, in an honest, bold and vulnerable way.
