Real Boy - Beard and a Haircut - Clip
In this excerpt from the Independent Lens film Real Boy, trans teenager Bennett talks to friend Joe Stevens, a trans folk singer, about trying to grow a beard and how to groom it when it finally does come. Bennett may just have "one chin hair at the moment" but Joe does give him a nifty new haircut as they talk about how they had "girls' haircuts" forced on them as kids.
