She's The He by Siobhan McCarthy
Just before graduation, Alex and Ethan pretend to be trans women to get into the girl's locker room. It's all a joke until Ethan realizes; she really is trans. The two must reckon with their changing friendship and process of coming out.
She's The He is a tribute to the iconic, larger-than-life films of the '90s & '00s, but this time, queer characters are front & center. Imagine Superbad, Mean Girls or Clueless, but with LGBTQ+ representation at the heart. This film is meant to defang harmful rhetoric and show the humanity & joy of being trans.
