Stav Strashko ~ It’s not something we choose
“I was born a boy, and I consider myself a girl,” Stav explains, pausing a moment to clarify. “I consider myself a girl only because of the world we live in. For example, if I wear a skinny jeans, a crop top, and makeup, people see me as a girl, so I feel obligated to say I am a girl. But I would rather live without definition.”
Stav has no plans on altering her body. “I do consider myself a trans person. By definition, transgender doesn’t include only those who have had surgery; it’s just someone who identifies with another gender,” she points out. “But I never wanted to go through the surgery — I feel comfortable in my body. I have a boyfriend who loves me the way I am. I don’t want to change anything.” And she shouldn’t have to. Stav represents a new generation that refuses to conform to societal standards about gender and gender expression. That said, the freedom to explore one’s identity without limitations comes with a new challenge.

Boy Meets Girl
As I mentioned last night, oliviarium and I finally saw Boy Meets Girl. After a delicious Mexican food dinner with my fiancee, we topped off the night with a movie in bed - the aforementioned Boy Meets Girl, if that’s not already obvious. Because I believe in paying for the movies I watch at home, I bought it on Vimeo here and streamed it to my TV through my Roku. Olivia and I snuggled up and I hit play.
Right off the bat, we’re grinning. Comments like, “Wow, they said that!” and “OMG, that’s soo true!” and “I’m surprised they’re bringing that up!” began to bounce between us. We were immediately impressed by how many issues, topics, and points it was taking on. For a movie telling a story, it had almost as much educational content as a one hour special on transgender issues, but it did a really good job of lacing it into the dialog so it generally didn’t feel too forced. I was incredibly impressed by this, and I think it will make a great movie for our cis allies to watch - almost like an immersion course in a foreign language, where it’s less about memorization and more about hands-on learning.
Beyond that, the story was sweet and the build up to the conclusion was well done. There were a few moments where some of the dialog was a little forced or unrealistic, but since it was done in service of delivering those educational “this is the right thing to say in this situation” moments, I am quite happy to overlook it. Overall it was very well done and very brave. In fact Michelle’s performance was incredibly brave, and in case you’re not already familiar with what I might be referring to, I won’t say anything more about it! ;)
By the end of the finale, I was in tears. It was something deeply relatable to me, about the power of sharing your story with the world, and it put things in a whole new perspective for me in a way I wasn’t expecting, and that just pushed me over the tears threshold, but they were happy tears. I’m sorry I can’t be more specific, but I don’t want to ruin it for you. Maybe in a few months when more people have seen it, I’ll go into more detail.
Until then, it’s safe to say that I loved it. I related to it, I laughed, I cried, and I simply cannot wait to share it with others and watch it over and over again!

I saw this movie and really loved it too. I agree, for an inexperienced actress, Michelle really shined in a very genuine way. This movie had enough realism mixed in with a ‘feel good’ ending to make you really think about her life and struggles. It also reinforced my understanding that it’s those who surround transpeople that have the most work to do in terms of changing their attitudes.
