Today, let’s talk about a brand new lady! In a world. Where trans people are played by trans people. Cis people are played by trans people. And gay people are played by gay people. And where trans people belong in high schools… As in, two boys decide to pretend to be trans to gain access to hot girls in their high school, except that one of them pretty much immediately realizes that, well, she actually is trans. Hijinks ensue, and it’s a beautiful mix of camp and hilarious (no, I never grew out of my high school comedy phase and yes, my last rewatch of Not Another Teen Movie (aptly named Sex Academy in French) was embarrassingly recent), and of some more heartfelt scenes with a mother who struggles with her daughter’s coming out and with the sheer power of the emotions portrayed by Misha Osherovich when her character feels gender euphoria for the first time. Also, somehow, nobody ever gets misgendered even when people act in transphobic ways. It was a gorgeous, completely stupid…
